A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cavities, Caries: Newer recommendation for starting dental care is one year age. This is very important. They do detail exam, floride treatment, clean teeth, give instruction to parent and the child how to take care of teeth to prevent caries, cavities, fowl breath, etc. Make an appointment with the dentist for all your children soon.
