Family Dentistry

One common “dental myth” we’ve heard floating around Destin and Panama City Beach is that caring for primary or baby teeth is not important because “they’re just going to lose them anyways.” This is a dangerous notion that could not be farther from the truth. The fact of the matter is, primary teeth set the stage for adult teeth later on in life, and if they are not properly cared for, the adult teeth that replace them will likely be compromised as well. Pediatric dentistry is also important because the habits that we form as adults are usually a result of those formed in early childhood, which is why establishing a good oral home care routine early on is essential in maintaining good oral health habits that will last a lifetime.
