Another dentist capped Savannah’s teeth with white veneers free of charge. According to www.colgate.com, a child’s first visit to the dentist should coincide with its first birthday for the following reasons: to learn how to care for an infant or toddler’s mouth, use fluoride properly, understand teething and milestones of development, the link between diet and oral health and the effects of finger and thumb sucking.
Savannah’s case is an example of the new findings by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry that cavities are increasing in preschool-aged children.
