At Smiling Faces Pediatric Dentistry, we’re committed to ensuring that your little one get the best early dental care available.

Benefits of Early Dental Care

There are many reasons to take your young child to the dentist, including:

• We can help fix dental problems before they become serious
• Your child will get used to visiting the dentist from an early age
• You’ll learn how to take care of your child’s teeth when they’re very young
• You can learn how to prevent dental problems before they happen
• Going to the dentist teaches your child the value of good oral hygiene

What to Expect During Your Child’s First Dental Appointment

During your child’s first dental appointment, the dentist will introduce themselves to you and your child. You can stay with your child during this appointment, and if your child is still a baby, you’ll probably hold your child on your lap.

The dentist will look inside your child’s mouth and check their teeth for signs of trouble. The dentist will show you how to brush your child’s teeth, and they’ll answer any questions that you may have about oral hygiene for babies and toddlers.

When To Take Your Child for Their First Dental Appointment

Bring your child to the dentist for the first time within 6 months of their first tooth erupting from the gums or when they turn one year old, whichever comes first.
