Dr Dental, Young Children are off To A Poor Start with Dental Health.
Polls show children may not be receiving the dental care needed early on in life. The report from the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health shows that most children ages 1-2 have not yet started seeing a dentist, even though most experts recommend that children begin oral health care by age 1 or when their first teeth emerge. It is critical to make sure that parents know and understand their role in preventing dental problems.
