# # Take Care of Your Child's Smile for Life # #

With a baby, everything is a first, and that includes the first adorable smile.
To ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles,
your child's first trip to a dentist occurs six months after his or her first tooth erupts.
"It's important to fix decayed baby teeth so the surrounding teeth don't become infected. Cavities that are not fixed can lead to painful abscesses, early tooth loss, as well as the loss of spacing needed to be reserved for the incoming permanent teeth."

# abscess # #

Dentists will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. They may be able to save your tooth with a root canal treatment, but in some instances it may need to be pulled. Leaving a tooth abscess untreated can lead to serious, even life-threatening, complications.

A cleft lip is a split in the upper lip.
This can happen on one or two sides of the lip, creating a wider opening into the nose.
A cleft palate is a split in the roof of the mouth. This leaves a hole between the nose and the mouth.

Sometimes a cleft lip and cleft palate occur together.
Normally, the mouth and nose of a baby develop between the first 6 and 12 weeks of growth inside the mother. In some babies, parts of the lips and roof of the mouth don't grow together

Don't let gum disease ruin your beautiful smile.

Gum Disease is a very serious dental problem and if not taken care off can lead to loss of teeth.

Gum disease occurs when there is a significant build-up of plaque around the teeth and gums. Plaque contains a significant amount of bacteria, which can turn into tartar if it’s not removed via careful oral hygiene and regular appointments with your dentist. When tartar is left on the surface of the tooth, it can release dangerous toxins, which can cause gum disease, tooth loss, and eventually bone loss.
