The assumption is that they are going to fall out anyway, so there\u2019s no point in having a checkup. It\u2019s actually recommended that every child visit a dentist by their first birthday. Not only does this set them up for good oral hygiene for their future, but it also helps to prevent issues down the road. Below, your pediatric dentist in Charlotte, NC dives into the details on why caring for your child\u2019s baby teeth is beneficial in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PREVENTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children require a comprehensive evaluation before the age of one to ensure they are equipped for a healthy life. These aren\u2019t just casual visits because Dr. Holt will take time to assess your child\u2019s risk of decay, as well as offer some hands-on tips for tooth cleaning. On top of that, you\u2019ll be able to discuss nutritional matters with Dr. Holt to ensure your child\u2019s teeth are being damaged by an unhealthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF TOOTH DECAY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children and babies are also capable of suffering from tooth decay \u2013 and much faster than you may think. Sometimes, this is caused by the use of a bottle. It can even occur as young as twelve to eighteen months old. Bottles aren\u2019t the only reason that babies can suffer from tooth decay; if they\u2019re enjoying a sippy cup throughout the day, they\u2019re just as much at risk. Babies who breastfeed are also susceptible. Having an early visit helps Dr. Holt spot issues early when there is a better chance of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>PREVENTING TOOTH DECAY IN BABIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some steps you can take to ensure your child has the best chance of remaining cavity-free:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Breastfeed children whenever possible and remove them from the breast as soon as they are done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not allow children to nurse all through the night.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t give bottles to your baby through the night or for comfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never dip a pacifier in sweetener.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid medications that contain sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit the amount of sugar in your child\u2019s diet. Give healthy alternatives instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prevention is always the best way to handle your child\u2019s dental health. It is preferable to painful treatments being performed on your small children. Make an appointment to take your one-year-old to your pediatric dentist in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Sheila Holt, for a full checkup and give them the best chance at a healthy mouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a common misconception that baby teeth don\u2019t need care from the dentist.
