  • Your Child's First Teeth
    Category: Pediatric Dentistry

    Your child’s first tooth is a big developmental milestone, so it’s important for you to know what to expect and how to maintain your child’s teeth when they start coming in. It’s just as vital to take care of baby teeth as it is permanent teeth, even though the baby teeth eventually fall out.

  • Space Maintainers
    Category: Pediatric Dentistry

    Category: Pediatric Dentistry

    The most likely location for a cavity to develop in your child's mouth is on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.

  • Pregnancy and Your Child's Developing Teeth
    Category: Pediatric Dentistry

    A baby’s teeth are not visible at birth, but already exist underneath the gums.
