Dental Insurance Kids – Cavities
Avoid future cavities by early preventive oral health care for babies.
A recent University of Illinois study confirms the presence of bacteria associated with early childhood caries in infant saliva. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Early Childhood Caries (tooth decay/cavities) are the most prevalent infectious disease in U.S. children. Forty percent of U.S. children will have cavities by the time a child reaches kindergarten. New parents should minimize snacks and drinks with fermentable sugars. As well as wipe the gums of newborn babies who do not yet have teeth. A baby should also have their first dental appointment when they cut their first tooth.
