An alarming 42% of children have tooth decay in their baby teeth, and this number has been steadily rising over the last 20 years. What is accounting for the surge in childhood tooth decay and dental disease?Many biological dentists believe it may be direct result of poor nutrition and a lack of essential vitamins needed for healthy teeth and bone development.
Early orthodontic treatment in children, also known as interceptive orthodontic treatment or pre-orthodontics, can help identify and treat potential issues early before they develop into more serious oral problems. Intervention can begin as early as age 7, while the teeth are still developing and the jaw is still growing.
