Ottawa, ON – Dr. Pamela Li, an Ottawa dentist and Invisalign provider braces and general dental care, has started a new protocol recommended by the Canadian Dental Association (CDA). The Association advises dentists to see babies by age one rather than waiting until age two or three for their first dental visit. Because cavities are still common in early childhood, Dr. Li employs the CAMBRA risk assessment method to screen each child.
“At CHEO, our children’s hospital, the wait for a dental appointment in an O.R. is more than a year,” says Dr. Li, an Ottawa veneers provider. “However, dental decay is still very common among children despite water fluoridation.”
