In this video Dr. Wayne S. Chiu Pediatric Dentist in the cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Highland, CA speaks about the appropriate time for a child to have a first dental appointment. Most experts recommend that you take your child to his first dental appointment within about six months of his first tooth's arrival, or by the time he or she turns one. Babies who are bottle fed have a higher chance of developing dental caries and tooth decay. Baby tooth decay happens when the presence of extra sugar presents in formula milk. This sugar acts as food for the bacteria in the mouth, allowing it to grow and harm the baby's gums and teeth. Also recommended for parents to keep their children away from chips, bread, juice, and milk before sleep time.To obtain further information visit your local dentist. br Dr. Wayne S.
