The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. In addition to establishing a dental home, those early visits give dentists an opportunity to arm parents with information to prevent their kids from experiencing tooth decay.

It's not always easy getting kids to brush and floss their teeth as consistently as they should. Thankfully, community water fluoridation strengthens tooth enamel to help protect teeth against cavity-causing germs. #teethmatter
