Laying the Groundwork for Lifelong Health Many parents believe baby teeth don’t need much care because they eventually fall out. However, at Marinaside Dental, we emphasize the importance of early preventive dental care for children. Healthy baby teeth play a crucial role in helping your child chew, speak, and smile with confidence, and they also set the stage for healthy adult teeth.
Why Baby Teeth Are Important
- They help guide adult teeth into proper position
- Early decay can affect future oral development and overall health
- Poor oral hygiene can lead to pain, infections, and difficulty eating
- Establishing early dental habits leads to better long-term outcomes
First Dental Visit Tips
We recommend your child see a dentist by age one or within six months of their first tooth appearing. During this first visit:
- Our Yaletown dentist will gently examine your child’s gums, teeth, and bite
- We’ll offer oral health tips for kids and parents
- We’ll review teething, thumb-sucking, and nutrition guidance
- We’ll answer all your questions to make sure you feel confident caring for your child’s smile
Make It a Positive Experience
We create a fun, relaxed, and welcoming environment to ensure children feel safe and excited about visiting the dentist. Our team is trained in children’s dentistry and uses age-appropriate language and encouragement to build trust and comfort.
