The earlier you bring your child in for a dental exam and teeth cleaning, the better. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends taking your child to a dentist by the age of 1.  Regular visits once every six months allow the Solomon Family Dentistry team to track your child’s oral health and jaw development as they age.  Many children have anxiety over visiting the dentist, so these visits also present an opportunity to help your child form a positive relationship with their dentist. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children have an orthodontic assessment by age 7. Talk to the Solomon Family Dentistry team about scheduling an assessment as early as possible to prevent the progression of orthodontic issues that may already be present. To schedule a pediatric dentistry visit with the team at Solomon Family Dentistry, call the nearest office or book an appointment online today.
