Do I really need to bring my child in to see you before he or she has lost their baby teeth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  In fact, the American Association for Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association both recommend your child to visit the dentist by one year of age.  This helps prevent any future problems and identify an existing problems right away.
May children may be causing structure changes in their teeth by pacifier use, thumb sucking, etc. and we can help determine if that's happening and what can be done to prevent any necessary orthodontic repairs later on.  We will also help you instill proper at-home dental care for your little one so that he or she will be well on their way to a future of cavity-free dental visits!
