INFANT ORAL HEALTH CARE

Infant oral health (IOH) is the foundation upon on which preventive education and dental care must be built to enhance the opportunity for life time free of preventable oral diseases. Parents are decision makers in matters of children health and healthcare, thus they play an important role in achieving the best oral health outcomes for their young children. Preventive dental care should start early in infancy, during the first year of child‘s life to ensure successful outcomes.
