Infant Dentistry
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry- AAPD actually recommends that children begin receiving dental care as soon as their first tooth shows up, or at least by their first birthday. Infant dentistry includes assessing the baby’s mouth to make sure everything is healthy and giving parents advice for taking care of their baby’s teeth and gums. As soon as teeth appear, they are vulnerable to the possibility of cavities.
It’s crucial to keep baby teeth healthy so that the child can chew effectively, speak clearly, and feel comfortable, and baby teeth also hold the places for the adult teeth to grow in after them. Our pediatric dentists will help you keep your baby’s teeth healthy and happy.
