April 25, 2018/3 Comments/in children dental health /by Darryl Engel

UPDATED 25-05-18

Baby teeth are designed to fall out on their own as your child develops. The first of these teeth typically start to fall out around the age of 6 or 7. Usually doing so in the same order that they came in. While this is a natural process that you usually don’t need to interrupt, there are times when a removal of these teeth needs to occur in order to protect your child’s dental health.

April 19, 2018/0 Comments/in children dental health /by Darryl Engel

Simply adding a small amount of fluoride into the city reservoir has drastically decreased all of these problems without significant side effects. The addition of fluoride in brushing, and the emphasis on regular brushing, have also reduced these figures of tooth decay.
