Ideally, you should bring your child to the dentist around their first birthday or when their first tooth breaks through the gum. However, some parents and caregivers wait a bit longer, which is fine.
However, if you suspect anything amiss or want guidance through teething and pacifier use, we are happy to help.
Early dental visits consider the following:
- Oral Development
- Early Interception
- General Exam and Monitoring
- Guidance on at-home care
Eventually, early appointments evolve as your child grows. Before long, they’ll undergo periodic x-rays, teeth cleans, dental sealants and fluoride treatments. The dentist always shares all findings with you and lays out all potential treatment options if warranted.
