Dr. Ross Anderson has created a customized doll and tool kit aimed at teaching dentists, dental hygienists and other medical professionals about pediatric oral care.
Many parents do not take their children to the dentist until they are around three years old, however, tooth decay can begin as soon as baby teeth erupt in a child's mouth.
Dr. Anderson’s tool kit, which was launched in January 2016, is being used by health care practitioners across the country to demonstrate the importance of proper oral care in young children.
Dr. Anderson stopped by Global this morning to discuss good oral care for babies.
