    Being a good parent is not an easy task. There's a lot more to keeping your kids healthy than just feeding them the right food and making sure that they get enough exercise. You have to find good pediatric dentists and doctors and schedule regular checkups, to make sure that they stay healthy and grow well.

Radiograph of abscess on middle tooth.  Note the dark outline of the short root. Dental abscesses often start out as large cavities on the teeth. Once the cavity invades the pulp of the tooth the infection spreads to the bone. At that point the tooth is no longer salvageable.
