So, let’s discuss the top five reasons why your child may have bad breath.
As adults, we know that oral hygiene is a critical part of our overall health care. Yet, many parents come to David C. Wood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry with questions about pediatric dentistry. While we encourage parents to bring their children in for examinations as soon as possible, dental care can start at home and as soon as your child’s first tooth arrives. There’s no reason you should wait to introduce your child to the basics of teeth care. In fact, many children will be naturally curious about why you’re brushing your teeth, so this is a great opportunity to teach them the ropes. If you’re unsure where to start, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we get about children’s dentistry.
Proper oral health care starts when your child’s first tooth breaks through the surface.

Wood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we treat children of all ages, and are ready to take good care of your mini-me at any time. Here’s what you should expect during their first visit with us.
