It’s important to establish a dental care routine for your children from the time they are babies so that they will carry the habit throughout their lives. — Filepic
For example, studies show that children who have cavities at a young age are three times more likely to have them as adults. A lifelong preference for sweet foods can lead to higher risk of dental problems, as well as chronic health conditions such as obesity and diabetes.It is quite common for adults to have an aversion to visiting the dentist, and this may have developed from your own negative experiences.
Regular visits will help to normalise the experience of visiting a dentist and will go a long way towards preventive care. A child with cavities or gum disease may experience chronic discomfort or pain, causing them to avoid foods that require chewing. Over time, this may lead to nutritional deficiencies or chronic conditions that can affect their health into adulthood.
