Why Should I Bring My Baby to the Dentist’s Office?
As pediatric dentists, we’re experts at examining tiny mouths while contending with wriggling arms and legs, and we can monitor your child’s early oral development and even see how their baby teeth are forming! Plus, we can provide education for new parents and answer common questions, such as…
When Should My Baby First Go to the Dentist’s Office?
Our team (as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) recommends that a child’s first dental visit be scheduled six months after their first tooth appears, and no later than their first birthday. An easy way to remember it is, “First by the first!”
What Happens During Baby’s First Dental Checkup
While your child sits in your lap, your pediatric dentist will marvel at their adorable cheeks while gently palpating along their gums. This can reveal a lot about how your child’s mouth, jaw, and incoming teeth are developing. You’ll be invited to ask any and all questions you might have, and we’ll also walk you through how to clean their mouth after each feeding and offer tips so they can avoid “baby bottle tooth decay.”
