When Should I Take My Child To See A Children's Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends bringing your child to a children’s dentist as soon as their first tooth emerges. Even one tooth can get a cavity or decay next to an adjacent tooth if not properly flossed.
Baby bottle tooth decay is very common today since many kids are put to bed with bottles or sippy cups of sugary juice or milk. Both can erode enamel and cause cavities. Never let your child sleep with one of these drinks – it’s so important they brush before bedtime. Give our Southington office a call if you want more tips on this or to book an appointment with our great kids’ dentist. We’re happy to help your child start healthy dental habits early!
The Agenda for Your Child’s First Dental Visit
At your child’s first visit to our pediatric dentist in Southington, the dentist will thoroughly check their jaw and teeth for any misalignment or potential issues. This exam can be done with your child sitting in the dentist’s chair or on your lap, whichever makes them most comfortable. Our team will take great care to ensure the appointment is a positive experience for your little one. Please call us to schedule this important first dental checkup and start your child on the path of good oral health habits. We’re looking forward to meeting you!
