Good oral health care is important for everyone at any age. Babies who have just cut their first tooth as well as senior adults who wear dentures will all benefit from regular visits to a family dentistry clinic. I took my three year old son to the dentist for the first time and after the examination, our dentist discovered that my son had four cavities. My name is Starla Jacobson and I'm writing this blog to give you important information about preventive dentistry care. After that eye opening dental visit, I decided to learn everything that I could about oral health. What I learned surprised me, because I didn't know that babies should see a dentist soon after cutting their first tooth. I also learned the importance of healthy gums for seniors who wear dentures. I hope that what I've learned will help you and your family too.
