We, along with the
American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend the first dental
examination by 12 months of age. Don't wait until there is a
problem!
At the first visit
we will present:
·
A program of preventive home care
including brushing, flossing, diet, and the importance of fluorides.
·
The latest facts and guidelines
regarding finger, thumb, and pacifier habits.
·
What you need to know about
preventing injuries to the mouth and teeth.
·
Information on growth and
development.
·
A cavity risk assessment.
·
Information about Early Childhood
Cavities, which may be due to inappropriate nursing habits or
inappropriate use of sippy cups.
