Early Dental Checks for Healthy Infants
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Robert L. Dennis, DDS and Dr. Eric Dennis recommend that infants should have their first dental check-up between six months and one year of age. Research shows that these early visits can help prevent the need for extensive dental treatments in the future.
At the initial appointment, the dentist will conduct a thorough assessment of your infant's oral health. They will offer advice on maintaining a healthy diet, practicing proper oral hygiene for their age, and managing pacifier use. The aim is to establish a strong foundation for your child's oral health from an early age, ensuring that their teeth and gums stay healthy as they grow.
