Almost as soon as teeth appear in your child’s mouth, a regular dental cleaning schedule should be established to keep those teeth healthy, strong, and free from cavity and decay as your child grows. Baby teeth are just like grown-up teeth: They are vulnerable to tartar and plaque, and they can develop cavities and become infected. Fortunately, Dentini Pediatric Dentistry is here to ensure that doesn’t happen.

It’s important to remember that, while baby teeth are not meant to last forever, they do play a major role in how your child’s adult teeth will emerge. Decayed baby teeth can also make your child very uncomfortable and less likely to eat. In short, the health of baby teeth matter, so don’t neglect them!
