Do cavities in my baby’s teeth affect their permanent teeth?

Yes. Tooth decay and cavities in baby teeth can lead to higher chances of permanent teeth not growing straight or delayed eruption of your child’s permanent teeth.

Should I get my baby’s cavities filled?

Yes, fillings are a safe and preferable treatment choice for babies and baby teeth. This would also avoid spreading the caries in your toddler’s mouth.

Should I brush my baby’s teeth?

Yes. You should start brushing your baby’s teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste as soon as their first tooth starts to come in. Dentists recommend an adult do the brushing until age 7, when your child can learn to take the reins.

When should dentist visits start?

The first dentist visit should happen the same time brushing starts – when your baby’s first tooth erupts. After the first visit, it is recommended you take them every 6 to 12 months.
