Good dental hygiene is required for good dental health to last throughout a lifetime. Babies should be introduced to good dental hygiene before they are one year old. As soon as baby teeth begin to erupt, parents should clean the teeth every day using gauze or a small brush. A baby’s first dental visit should be six months after the first tooth comes in (normally around one year).
As babies become toddlers, teaching them how to maintain a regular oral regimen to teach them how to care for their teeth properly for years to come.
Good dental health has been linked to good general health, and dentistry has evolved from just treating damaged teeth to preserving as many original teeth as possible well into the latest stages of life. The best treatment plan for tooth preservation is to prevent dental diseases before they can start.
