The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a dentist before they turn 1, or within 6 months of the appearance of the first baby tooth.
Bringing your child to the pediatric dentist at a very early age allows him or her to meet the dentist, and become comfortable in the dental office setting. Sometimes new places can make kids nervous and uncooperative, and that’s alright! They understand. They will be patient and take our time to develop a solid relationship. If your child ever needs a filling or extraction, They always avoid the words “hurt”, “shot”, “pull”, “needle”, and suggest you do too. First visits usually include a gentle exam of teeth, jaw, bite, gums, and oral tissues, a gentle cleaning, demonstration of proper home cleaning, fluoride treatment, and answering any questions you may have about your child’s oral health.
Patients: Newborn/6 months to Mid-teens.
