What Should You Look For At Home When It Comes To Children’s Dentistry?
If you take your child to your early childhood nurse, you would be familiar with the dental checks completed by your early childhood nurse. We recommend that as soon as your child’s upper teeth have erupted, to lift the lip and check their oral health, paying particular attention to the area where the tooth and the gum meet.
If you notice any chalky white patches it’s likely to be the first signs of tooth decay, also known as early childhood caries. Do not panic, you can implement preventive strategies and treatments are available to prevent further progression. If you have noticed anything new and odd in your child’s mouth contact Dentists & Doctors for expert kid’s dentists in Geelong today on (03) 5221 9129.
