Children's dental care
What does dental care for children include?
Children's teeth change quickly, from first baby teeth to a full set of permanent teeth. Regular visits catch decay early and help children feel at ease at the dentist.
Baby teeth matter: they help with eating and speech and hold space for permanent teeth.
