Dentistry for Kids |
It’s never too early to pay attention to the oral health of your child. Parents know that it is a bad idea to give babies bottles of milk or juice at bedtime. Less well known is the fact that parents can unknowingly transmit tooth decay bacteria to their children through kissing or testing baby food. We can help reduce the risk of passing dental infection to your child and significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay later in life. For example, by applying sealants to your child’s teeth at an early age, your child will have fewer tears, toothaches, and cavities. A little bit of prevention means a lot less worry, and no emergency trips to the dentist’s office. Dr. Amy Ala, Pediatric DentistDr. Ala is the DentaQuest Oral Health Center’s pediatric dentist.
