Their teeth allow them to learn how to eat and speak while acting as placeholders for their permanent set. Brushing and flossing aren\u2019t enough to support their oral health and development. The American Dental Association recommends children over the age of 2 have cleanings and checkups every six months; however, your children\u2019s dentist in Midland will suggest bringing them in before their first birthday. Early dental care is proven to support lifelong good oral health habits, but the dentist\u2019s office can be a pretty scary place.
