It’s a fact that new born babies do not have the bacteria in their mouth that creates tooth decay. But, the bacteria can be transmitted to the baby from their mother when she kisses the child or even blows on food or drinks to cool them. As they grow, their solid food consumption increases and the possibility for decay becomes a factor. Every child should have their first dental visit by the age of 1. This is what is recommended by the American Dental Association.
