Your child's dental care doesn't end when you leave our office. Caring for the mouth after any dental procedure is just as important as the treatment itself. Many complications can be prevented by following a few guidelines. Just a few simple steps will prolong your child's next visit and will help to heal and soothe any discomfort that they may experience.
It is generally recommended that an infant be seen by a dentist by the age of 1 or within 6 months after his or her first tooth comes in. The first dental visit is usually short and involves very little treatment. This visit gives your child an opportunity to meet the dentist in a non-threatening and friendly way.
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Having a "Dental Home" helps to establish a relationship with your caregivers and an effective routine in your child's oral care.
