Baby dentistry refers to specialized dental care for the first years of life, from birth to 3 years old. Its goal is to ensure proper development of the mouth and teeth, prevent future dental issues, and teach parents the best oral hygiene practices from an early stage.

It is important because primary (baby) teeth are essential for chewing, speech, and the development of permanent teeth. Additionally, dental care habits established from the start help prevent cavities and other issues. Regular visits to the dentist allow for early detection of potential problems, such as malformations or harmful habits, promoting long-lasting oral health into adulthood.
