The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit within six months after the first tooth appears and no later than the first birthday.
Most children benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months, although your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your child’s needs.
We will help your child feel comfortable, complete an age-appropriate examination and cleaning, and review development, home care, and any recommended treatment with you.
Help your child brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, clean between teeth when they touch, limit frequent sugary snacks and drinks, and keep regular dental visits.
