The Best Time For Your Baby’s First Visit
Let’s talk about a important milestone for your beautiful new born baby. Your baby’s first dental visit. You can learn more about when we think is the best time to bring your child for their first vist below from Dr. Jina:
The Clock Starts Ticking with the First Tooth
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has a simple rule of thumb: your child’s first dental visit should happen by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Whichever comes first.
Why So Early?
- Prevention is Better Than Cure: Early visits reveal potential dental problems before they can become bigger issues. We’ll talk about avoiding baby bottle tooth decay and proper gum care even before those pearly whites fully emerge.
- Familiar Faces: We want to be friends with your little one. Familiarity with our team and the dental environment makes future visits a walk in the park, not a hurdle.
- Growing Right: Just like a great beautiful tree growing from a small seed. We keep an eye on your child’s oral development. Spotting issues early can make a world of difference.
- Guidance for the Road Ahead: We’re here not just for your child, but for you too. From brushing techniques to diet tips that keep cavities at bay, consider us your go-to guide.
- Habit Check: Thumb sucking? Pacifier use? We’ve seen it all and have gentle, effective strategies to help.
