What are the most common dental health problems seen in young children?

Dental caries: Dental caries. The caries rate can be reduced by the application of dental sealants as a preventative measure. Make sure your child is on fluoride supplements- such as Poly-vi-flor, if the water is not fluoridated.

Tooth decay: is largely preventable, but it remains the most common chronic disease among young children ages 3 to 12 years. See your pedodontist for more information.

Decay/grinding: In my area it is dental decay, bad oral/diet habits and lots of grinding. I am also looking into sleep apnea issues as well, but decay is the biggest problem.
