Developing strong oral habits begins at a young age. Children need to learn how to properly care for their teeth and parents need to make it a priority. Visiting a  practice is not enough either. Many things must be done at home to ensure your child has a beautiful, healthy smile for life.

To help give you that push to make your child’s teeth a priority, here are several facts you should know about children’s dental health.

Children Can Get Cavities on Their First Tooth

Even if your infant only has one tooth inside his or her mouth, he can get a cavity. Tooth decay is a childhood chronic disease in Canada, as well as in other countries around the world. However, it is a preventable disease. Many children eat and drink foods filled with sugars and their teeth are not rinsed properly or brushing is not completed well. Children who fall asleep with a bottle of milk or juice are particularly susceptible as they sleep with sugars lingering on their teeth all night long.
