Here’s a pretty random fact I just stumbled upon. Did you know that tooth decay in the United States Of America affects children more than any other chronic infectious disease.

So if you are planning on holding off bringing your kids to the Dentist I would do it sooner rather than later. Many people recommend that you should bring a child to a dentist before they hit their first birthday. I personally feel you are wasting your time doing that.

A more realistic time would be when they can hold a toothbrush properly. Don’t leave it beyond 3 years old anyway.
