Baby Oral Exams
While many parents think that baby teeth do not matter since they fall
out, pediatricians and pediatric dentists now know that baby teeth set
the stage for whats to come. Neglected baby teeth lead to problems with
permanent teeth. We recommend that parents gently wipe baby gums with
a damp clean washcloth or gauze after every feeding.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, now urges parents to have
their babies’ teeth examined by a dentist or pediatrician as soon
as teeth appear, and at least by 1. Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry is offering
baby oral exams for all children 14 months and under at all three of our
locations.

Did You Know?
Development of crooked teeth can be recognized as early as 2-3 years
of age. Often, early steps can be taken to reduce the need for major orthodontic
treatment at a later age.
