Children’s dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, focuses on providing oral healthcare to infants, children, and adolescents. It is a specialized field that addresses the unique dental needs of young patients, ensuring their dental health and promoting good oral hygiene habits from an early age. We recommend bringing your child around the 12-month mark when they already have their first few teeth. The goal of this appointment is not to do extensive scaling, fillings, or major surgeries. The primary goal for any child being in a dental office for their first appointment is to get them accustomed to coming to a dental office and form a lifelong habit of proper oral care. Promoting good behavior such as brushing and creating comfort in a dental office setting is what can drive your children to take care of themselves in their lifelong journey of oral health and we would love to be part of that journey.
