To protect your child’s developing smile, it is important to begin seeing the dentist early. In fact, the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry both have recommended that a child’s first dental visit should be within six months after their first tooth erupts.
At Roger Druckman, DDS PC, we believe it is never too early to learn how to properly care for your child’s developing smile. We are increasingly concerned at the rate of cavities in preschool-aged children. Did you know that children are developing cavities as early as age two?
To keep this from occurring with your child, we are pleased to help you support your child’s oral health through prevention with strong oral hygiene and healthy dietary care to support developing teeth. What can you look forward to at your child’s first dental visit with our team? Let’s take a look!
— How best to care for your little infant’s oral health.
