So... do kids really need to go to the dentist that often? The short answer is yes.

You brush your teeth every day. You floss. You don't have a toothache. So you probably don't have a cavity, right? Not necessarily.

You should know that CAVITIES in baby teeth are very common, but treatable; they shouldn’t be ignored. Even though these teeth will eventually fall out, they play critical roles in chewing, speech, jaw growth, and holding space for adult teeth. Untreated decay can spread quickly through thinner baby enamel, causing pain, infection, or early tooth […]
