Start Right
Parents and caregivers make the difference in children
getting a good start with oral health. Help ensure a healthy smile for your
child by creating good habits from an early age, such as regular brushing, good
nutrition, visits to the dentist and other decay prevention techniques.
Overview
Parents may think of a newborn baby as having no teeth,
but the primary teeth that will erupt over the next few years are already
present when your child is born. These teeth are crucial to your child’s dental
development and important to their total health.
The Start Right materials and education program was developed to address the
importance of baby teeth and caring for these, and to give information on teething
and tooth eruption, and practical tips
to prevent early childhood cavities.
