Children as young as six months should receive routine dental care. Early intervention prevents tooth decay, gum disease, and crooked teeth. Preventing Accidents Pre-school children have not yet learned the full meaning of danger. For that reason, parents and caregivers need to be on their guard. Preschool children are especially vulnerable to accidents in the home.
Dangers can increase as children become more mobile.
Car accidents are the most common cause of death for school age children. You should insist that your child always wear a safety belt. You also need to ensure that your child knows the rules of pedestrian and bicycle safety. Children should learn to swim at an early age. If there are guns in the home, they should be under lock and key.
