We're on the same page. I think we would like to see the healthy eating strategy complete the recommendations there.
In terms of dentistry and getting children to the dentist early, the Canadian Dental Association does advocate and recommend that children be brought to the dentist within six months of the eruption of the first tooth. That gives the dentist the opportunity to assess the child's risk of dental cavities and also to talk to the parents about healthy eating, healthy diet, brushing, flossing and so on.
I think early intervention and early meeting with the child and the family, because it is a family issue, would go a long way toward getting the child started on the right path.
