Infant Dental Care

Information may not be reliable

It is generally a good idea to schedule your child’s first dentist visit once the first tooth has erupted. During this visit, your child’s dentist will examine your child’s teeth and determine the potential risk for dental disease, as well as review diet and feeding practices. This is also a good time to go over habits with the dentist that could be harmful to your child’s future dental development. A cleaning may be performed, if necessary. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dental Association, kid’s dental care should begin at the age of one and should continue every six months.
