As a general dentist, I often see children with cavities, and it is a concern that is on the rise. One of the most effective ways to prevent dental issues is to bring your kids in for their first dental visit early—ideally by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears! The modern American diet is packed with hidden sugars, contributing to the alarming rates of cavities among kids.
From sugary cereals to juice boxes, it is crucial to be mindful of what we are feeding our little ones. Remember, not all “treats” come wrapped in candy! In my book, “Sugarbomb,” available on Amazon Kindle, I dive deeper into the impact of sugar on our dental health and how we can combat these issues. Making informed choices about what our kids eat can lead to a
healthier smile and a lifetime of good dental habits. So let us start this journey towards a cavity-free childhood together. Schedule a visit today, and let us help you keep those smiles bright!
