Age one dental visits help promote good oral health. The academies of the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) all recommend that a child visit the dentist for the first time 6 months after the eruption of the first tooth or by age one, whichever comes first. This visit allows us to help educate parents about their child's oral health and how to prevent oral disease. The goal of our office is to prevent dental decay and age one dental visits are one of the ways to accomplish this goal.
Please contact our office to learn more about this service.
