If your baby’s teeth are damaged it can actually cause the adult teeth to be the same way, depending on how bad they are.  Baby teeth really are just as important as permanent teeth, and since they wont fall out until around age 7, these are the teeth that your child will have for a while.  Help her keep them healthy.

I have heard many different things about when to take a baby to a dentist.  I have heard no later than a year after you baby gets their first tooth, and 18 months, and some not until they are 3 years old.

I would say to contact the dentist that your family goes to and ask them when they should see your baby and go by that.  If  your baby isn’t having any problems with their teeth, then your dentist may tell you to wait a little while longer.
