Description

Teeth are so easy to take for granted. And they're the only part of your body that doesn’t fix itself! That's why dental care is so important — we only get two sets, and it’s our job to make sure they last a lifetime. And that work starts when you’re a kid. So how do we teach kids good dental habits from the start? What if they hate brushing?

On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with Dr. Elise Sarvas about baby teeth, cavities, fluoride — and sharks.
