Abstract
Oral health is an important aspect and integral element of children’s overall health. A statement was acknowledged by the American academy of pediatric dentistry (AAPD) that infant oral health is one of the foundations upon that preventable education and dental care must be engineered to boost the chance for an oral disease free life. Croll explained the traditional view of dental care incorporated somewhere between the age group of 2-3 years. Moreover, numerous dental considerations, such as oral lesions, oral trauma, or habits which will need treatment and/or consultation, may arise during the first two years of the child's life. For these reasons, skilled dental health care ought to begin during the infant period and not at the age of three years.
