Caring for Baby Teeth
Did you ever hear someone say, “I don’t understand why you’re making such a big fuss, they’re only baby teeth!”
Some people believe that baby teeth don’t really matter because they’re just going to fall out anyway! At Dentiland, we know better! Baby teeth need just as much attention as adult teeth; we’ll be happy to explain why when you call us.
To help prevent those first cavities and fillings for baby teeth, it’s important that you understand the dental needs of your child.
When should I start caring for my baby’s teeth?
Even before your baby’s first teeth erupt, you can clean your baby’s gums by rubbing them after each meal with a clean washcloth.
How do I know when my baby is teething?
Most babies start to teethe at about six months of age or later. Some go through the process with very little discomfort, while others experience pain and increased irritability or fussiness.
