Ideally, a child’s first visit to a dentist should occur not long after their very first baby tooth begins to emerge. These early visits allow dentists to clean your child’s teeth and promote hygiene habits that’ll benefit them throughout their life. However, not every dentist will be equipped to identify signs of potential orthodontic issues.
An orthodontic specialist like Dr. DeQuattro can detect any problems with a child’s bite or tooth alignment before they become apparent. This allows for a treatment strategy to be planned out in advance and for corrective steps to be taken before symptoms progress. With prompt care, we’ll help ensure that your child grows into the beautiful straight smile that they deserve.
