Baby Teeth 101

By preschool age, most children have around 20 baby teeth, also known as ‘primary teeth’. While these teeth are not permanent, it is still important to monitor your child’s baby teeth and establish healthy oral habits early on.

The Importance of Baby Teeth:

Baby teeth help to save space in the mouth for the permanent teeth to come in healthy, strong and straight
Baby teeth help to form sounds and words. If a child loses these teeth prematurely, it can lead to speech problems
Baby teeth help to round out the face and can promote positive self-esteem in children

Early Childhood Cavities

Early Childhood Caries (Cavities) is a dental condition that can affect young children. Too much sugar and improper dental hygiene habits can lead to serious cavities, tooth decay, and pain. Luckily, this condition is preventable with proper tooth brushing, flossing and limiting sugary drink and snack intake.

Promote Healthy Habits

Be sure to talk to your child about the importance of proper oral hygiene. Promoting a strong, shiny smile can give your child a self confidence boost and encourage lasting, healthy habits!

My husband and I signed our daughter up for daycare at Children's Campus in a desperate need. We had the opportunity to tour the center which we instantly fell in love with everything about it. Since our daughter has been attending Children's Campus she has done nothing but flourish in development. All of her teachers that she had been with since being here have been the sweetest and most caring, and that does not stop with the teachers as all of the staff at this center share constant love for the children. This is all evident by always being greeted with cheerful smiles, as well as witnessing everyone else being treated the same.

By spending time in my children's classrooms, I have witnessed the teachers' dedication and passion for working with children. Each day provides a stimulating experience in an atmosphere that fosters learning, as well as development of social, emotional, and gross and fine motor skills, all of which helps boost self-esteem. Each day when I drop them off I am confident Children's Campus provides a loving, nurturing , and attentive environment where my kids can play, learn, grow, and thrive!
