Infant Oral Exams

Early infant oral exams are crucial for ensuring your child’s oral health. The American Dental Association recommends scheduling an infant’s first dental visit by their first birthday. During this initial check-up, a dentist can assess your baby’s oral health, check for potential issues, and offer guidance on teething, brushing techniques, and fluoride use. Early visits help prevent cavities, gum problems, and alignment concerns later on and build positive associations with dental care.

Parents will also receive valuable advice on pacifier use, bottle feeding, and establishing healthy habits. Introducing dental visits early makes children more likely to maintain excellent oral health. Early infant oral exams provide a solid foundation for a lifetime of bright, healthy smiles.
