Whether your toddler has a mouth full of teeth or only a few poking through, it’s never too soon to start thinking about how to keep his adorable smile healthy. Sure, baby teeth don’t hang around forever (they generally start to fall out by age 6 or 7), but it’s still important to keep those tiny teeth and gums in tip-top shape while they’re saving the spots for grown-up teeth. It might sound early, but aim to schedule your baby’s first dentist appointment at a pediatric dentist (or one who's good with children) within 6 months of the time he sprouts a tooth or turns a year old, whichever comes first. If you suspect a problem, or even a cavity already, be sure to bring it up at the visit. A history of cavities in the family or a habit of falling asleep with a bottle or while nursing may give your baby a higher chance of developing early tooth decay. Other changes worth a mention include: any white spots on the teeth, ulcers or lesions in the mouth, bluish bruises where a tooth is trying to grow, grinding, or tongue issues.
