The road to a bright smile begins long before the first tooth breaks through the gum.
Parents play a big part in helping their children develop healthy teeth.
Early monitoring by a pediatrician is important. Regular care by a dental professional, getting enough fluoride, and eating right are all steps to good dental health. By following these steps and teaching them to your children, you can help your children grow up to have healthy teeth and winning smiles. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to improving and maintaining the oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and persons with special health care needs. So it's always a shocker when parents smell foul breath coming from their little angel.
