Baby teeth are just as important as permanent teeth. Baby teeth are necessary for chewing, speaking, and appearance to boost a child’s self-esteem. Decay in baby teeth can cause damage to the permanent teeth and can also cause problems with spacing.
Fluoride is one of the most effective elements for preventing tooth decay. Washington County does not have fluoride in the water which puts your child at higher risk for tooth decay. In addition to being put on a fluoride supplement, your child can visit our office for a fluoride treatment on the same day as their dental exam.
