Beginning dental visits early is the key to success, as it helps and assists us in recognizing and warding off potential problems before they become serious. And of importance to you, as a parent, preventive dentistry means less extensive, and less expensive, treatment for you child.
Preventive dentistry begins with the first tooth, typically around one year of age.
This is the time you should schedule your child's initial visit with us. We will teach you how to protect your child's dental health by providing a personalized program of brushing and flossing, thoroughly examining your child to detect any potential problem areas, diet counseling, and if necessary, fluoride recommendations. This will help ensure your child grows up as part of the cavity free generation. Remember, the earlier the dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental disease in your child. As a pediatric dentist, I and my staff are uniquely equipped and trained to provide preventive dentistry for your child.
