Every child needs to develop healthy dental hygiene skills, and several studies have shown that people who kick off their early years with healthy oral habits will continue to have healthier habits later in life. Adults who had good dental habits as children have more confidence later in life, and they also experience fewer issues with their teeth than children who lacked good dental habits.

Your child will begin getting their baby teeth during the first 6 months of their life. By age 6 or 7, they'll begin to lose their baby teeth and get their secondary, permanent teeth. Because of this well-known fact of life, many people share the common misconception that dental health within the first few years isn't that important.

Technology has improved countless aspects of the dental industry, and the power of digital is now being brought into X-ray technology. The actual process of receiving a digital X-ray is similar to that of a traditional X-ray. In order for your dentist to take an X-ray, they will put a sensor into your mouth that will capture multiple images of your teeth.
