Director of the MCH’s Department of Dentistry, Dr. Stéphane Schwartz, reminds us that caring for your child also involves looking after their teeth. If the teeth are not well looked after, your child’s quality of life may be affected; they may even stop eating.
“Remember that dental caries (or cavities) are a chronic infection caused by bacteria. We need to remove these bacteria, because they grow and multiply quickly.” Dr. Schwartz has developed three simple steps to care for children’s teeth, which she has named the Gold Standard of Care.
