Preparing your child for a healthy smile begins even before their first baby tooth appears.

Oral health begins at birth. Caring for your baby’s oral health is important to prevent tooth decay. It can also help set the stage for good dental care habits as your baby grows. Although baby teeth will fall out, it is important to keep them in good health because they hold a place for incoming adult teeth.
