Though your babys first dental visit will literally be nothing memorable, your childs first
dental visit sitting solo in the dental chair begins to form a relationship between your child and the dentist.
We may take a set of X-rays to reveal decay and check the growth progress of permanent teeth before we gently
examine your childs gums and baby teeth. A first-time cleaning may include topical fluoride to provide growing
teeth with an extra defense against decay. Well also recommend making sure your childs at-home dental hygiene includes a strong supply of fluoride as well.
This is also where we may review expected changes in the cleaning and care of your childs teeth.
You may need to hold your child once more during the examination to quell any fears and provide some soothing comfort.
There is no more opportune time to begin instilling sound dietary habits that will benefit your children for the rest of their lives:
Limit frequency of meals and snacks, keeping treats tied to mealtimeEncourage brushing,
flossing and rinsingKeep an eye on what your child drinksAvoid giving your child sticky foodsChoose nutritious snacks.
