Dental Myth 2
- 'Preventive Dentistry is only about clean teeth' |
There is a general belief that milk teeth are dropped anyway, so why bother protecting them. When ‘Milk teeth’ become decayed they quickly transfer harmful bacteria to the permanent teeth. Decay is an oral infection. It is therefore necessary to protect kids against decay and gum disease from as young as 2 – 3 years of age. Yes, prevention starts young.
When seen regularly, our dentists will monitor the complex growth of a child’s jaw and bones, pick up early diseases, hidden growth changes, speech impediments, as well as advise on preventing Sports injuries. Our dentists will teach your child regular oral care, as a good long-term habit. Decay bacteria enter the blood stream and cause chronic heart disease and other serious life-long conditions.
Fact: Preventive Dentistry more about monitoring a child’s overall health.
