Children Don't See Dentist Early Enough
By visiting the dentist by age 1, the child and parent can establish a relationship with a dentist, which can help set a foundation for good dental health care and habits. And studies show that early preventive dental care like check-ups and cleanings can save in future dental treatment costs. When a child can't articulate the pain resulting from dental infection, once he or she visits the dentist, the damage can be so severe it requires multiple dental visits, oral surgery or extractions - all of which could have been avoided with proper dental care.Tooth decay is nearly 100 percent preventable.
