Dr. Walther loves giving back to our amazing St. Louis community. This past weekend, he was fortunate to participate in Give Kids a Smile, an organization that provides free dental care and treatment to children whose families cannot afford dental services. He is so passionate about instilling in our children at an early age the great importanceof oral health, starting from a very young age.
Unfortunately, tooth decay is the most common disease found in children in America. In addition, the enamel of baby teeth are significantly more succeptible to cavities. It is important that your child makes his or her first visit to the dentist between ages 1 and 2in order to evaluate their teeth, check for cavities, provider fluoride treatment if necessary, and generally make sure everything is developing as it should be. The dentist can also give parents and caregivers valuable home care tips in dealing with your childrens dental care.
