At every cleaning and dental checkup visit, Dr. Monica will always check for any overretained primary teeth. She will examine and evaluate if there is a need to extract the baby tooth that has outstayed its welcome to make room for its new permanent replacement. If you notice this in your child’s mouth, please call us and schedule a visit today.

A cavity free mouth starts with using a small amount of topical fluoride toothpaste. Remember to use a rice grain amount for your child under 3 and pea size amount if over 3. And, always remember to brush your child's teeth twice a day for 2 minutes each.
