Happy baby

New parents

At 543 we’re all about families, so we know that for new mums and dads, your baby’s life is a series of ‘firsts’:

First bath. First smile. First word.

And as soon as you see that first tooth, it’s time to bring them in for their first dental visit. Remember, it’s FREE! Meanwhile, check out these FAQs about your newborn’s dental health.

The important thing to keep in mind is that it’s never too early to get your baby registered at 543. Don’t let them have their first birthday before their first check-up!
