Baby Teeth Matter They help babies, toddlers and preschoolers eat and speak clearly. And they save space for adult teeth, too! Babies need their first check-up by the first birthday. Baby teeth can start coming in as early as six months Access to Baby and Child Dentistry (ABCD) is a system of care in Washington state. It connects Apple Health (Medicaid) insured children from birth up to age six with specially-trained dentists in their communities. It’s important that young children get care early. A child with dental disease may have oral health problems throughout life. Cavities can be painful and interfere with your child’s ability to focus and learn in school, eat, speak and even play. Yet, cavities are almost entirely preventable. And prevention saves money, too |
