Report
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American Dental Associations recommends children visit a dentist by their first birthday. Our office is strong believer in this recommendation and has seen the advantages to having children seen at this age. Early visits give us time to identify and reduce any risk factors we may find that could lead to unhealthy teeth.
First Visit
Report
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
