Early Dental Checks for Healthy Infants
Based on the guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Robert L. Dennis, DDS and Dr. Eric Dennis suggest that infants should have their first dental check-up between six months and one year of age. Studies indicate that these early visits can help reduce the need for extensive dental treatments in the future.
During this initial appointment, the dentist will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your infant's oral health. They will provide guidance on maintaining a healthy diet, practicing appropriate oral hygiene for their age, and addressing pacifier use. The goal is to establish a solid foundation for your child's oral health early on, ensuring that their teeth and gums remain healthy as they develop.
