The Importance of Early Dental Visits and Care

Many parents are unsure when to bring their baby for their first dental visit, or how to properly care for their infant's emerging teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends the first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth's eruption. Early visits allow for:

Early Detection: Identifying and addressing early childhood caries (baby bottle tooth decay) or other developmental issues.

Parental Guidance: Educating parents on proper oral hygiene techniques for infants, diet, fluoride use, and pacifier/thumb-sucking habits.

Risk Assessment: Evaluating the child's risk for future dental problems.

Positive Association: Creating a positive initial dental experience for the baby, reducing future dental anxiety.

Tracking Development: Monitoring tooth eruption patterns and jaw growth, which is further supported by our dental development tracking services.
