It's not a real surprise to find that you have a cavity when you haven't had any pain (well, it might be a surprise to you, but it's not to your dentist). Cavities can form in any spot on your tooth, and they do not always lead to the stereotypical pain that seems to hit characters in sitcoms and cartoons.

Ensuring your child has a healthy, appealing smile requires more than just brushing and flossing. For many children, orthodontic care is necessary. While surprising to hear, orthodontic treatment can begin as early as 6six or seven years old. If you are like most parents, you may feel your child is too young for braces and other orthodontic care, but early intervention can actually reduce the risk of more involved care in the future.
