6 Myths About Pediatric Dentistry

If you’ve ever Googled questions about pediatric dentistry, you’ve likely found a lot of conflicting information about what you should and shouldn’t do when it comes to your child’s dental health. We’re here to set the record straight on some of the most common myths about pediatric dentistry! Myth #1: Children don’t need to see the dentist until all of their teeth come in. An early examination gives your pediatric dentist a chance to put together a long-term dental care plan that is most beneficial for your child. For this reason, we recommend bringing your child in for an exam when their first tooth erupts. The earlier your child is exposed to dental care and regular appointments, the more relaxed and comfortable they will be with routine visits! Myth #2: Cavities in baby teeth do not affect a child’s adult teeth. Untreated cavities in baby teeth can inhibit proper growth of adult teeth. Tooth decay affects the gums and roots of the teeth, which means harmful ba...
