\n– \u00a0How to care for an infant’s or toddler’s mouth
\n– \u00a0Proper use of fluoride
\n– \u00a0Oral habits, including finger and thumb sucking
\n– \u00a0Ways to prevent accidents that could damage the face and teeth
\n– \u00a0Teething\u00a0and milestones of development
\n– \u00a0The link between diet and oral health
\nAt Enchanted Forest we are very patient with your child during their first and all subsequent visits. \u00a0Dr. Rojas is not an advocate of general anesthesia but in the most extreme cases.
\nAfter the initial dental appointment, the standard every-six-month dental visit recommendation kicks into gear.\u00a0\u00a0In the end, it’s the basics — brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and getting regular dental checkups — that have the most impact on a kid’s smile.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
