Preventative dental care should start "the younger, the better". The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that parents schedule their baby's first visit by 12 months of age. Early, routine dental care will ensure that any problems may be detected and treated early, or even avoided completely. Experience shows that children who have a "dental home", and who participate regularly in a preventative program have a much lower incidence of dental disease than those who are seen sporadically. In addition, pleasant visits to the pediatric dentist will help your child establish trust and confidence that will last a lifetime. Our office does not charge for "well-baby" dental visits for children under 24 months of age. By getting an early start on preventative dental care, you can help ensure your infant's 52 teeth are part of a healthy attractive smile for a lifetime.
