Importance of Dentistry for Children

The Canadian Dental Association highly encourages that children have a dental appointment within six months of their first baby tooth appearing or by the age of one. There are a number of factors which contribute to children being more susceptible to forming cavities. These factors include children 15 months or older using bottles, drinking high sugar liquids, or eating foods with a high sugar level. Poor dental health can lead to pain and long term problems for children. The pain associated with poor dental health can make it difficult for children to eat, which leads to a lack of nutrition in their diet, and poor growth. Poor dental health for children can also result in trouble sleeping, behaviour issues, and infections. Children who have cavities early on in their baby teeth are at a higher likelihood to be diagnosed with dental disease down the road.
