We recommend getting your child in for their first visit by age 1. The younger your child is when they start dental check-ups the sooner we are able to establish a level of trust which allows us to better serve your child's needs. We see children as early as 6 months old!

Ideally, it's important to have your child seen as soon as they have a tooth erupt. Early examinations catch potential problems early. If you catch problems early, it'll save you money and stress.

Depending on which tooth was extracted, your child may find it difficult to chew through their meals. Providing soft foods for the next few days will help your child heal comfortably.

Children are high risk to develop cavities if they are exposed to sugary beverages frequently thought the day. The same goes for the childeren who snack thourghout the day with foods high in carbohydrates. Bottles and sippy cups being used at naptime or bed time with anyhting other than water can also increase their likelihood to develop cavities.

A factor to consider when trying to avoid developing cavities is diet. Children who,"graze" or snack on foods high in carbohydrates as well as drinking sugary liquids are more cavity prone. Great dental hygiene starts at home with daily brushing and flossing. If your child is young, they'll need help to brush their teeth as their dexterity to brush properly develops. Make a plan with your child to brush their teeth at night and for your child to brush their teeth in the morning. Every 6 months, make sure your child makes it to their dental cleanings and exams.

Our dentist can figure out what your child needs during their routine exams. Some issues may correct themselves, so it's important to watch your child's development closely. The best way to know what their future treatment plans may be is to ensure your child makes it to their routine cleanings and exams.
