A Healthy Mouth for Your Baby
Healthy teeth are important—even baby teeth. Children need healthy teeth to help them chew and to speak clearly. And baby teeth hold space for adult teeth. This booklet can help you keep your baby's mouth healthy and give him a healthy start!
Ann Talks With Maria
Ann and her friend Maria were watching Maria's children play.
"What are you doing?" asked Ann.
"I'm cleaning my baby's teeth," said Maria.
"But your baby hardly has any teeth!" said Ann.
"Yes, but the dentist said there are things I can do to keep my baby from getting cavities," said Maria.
"But don't baby teeth just fall out?" asked Ann.
