The first visit is an important step towards building a positive relationship and establishing trust between the pediatric dentist and your child.
Our office, as well as the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the American Academy of Pediatrics all recommend establishing a Dental Home for your child by one year of age.
This allows your child to receive oral health care in a comprehensive, coordinated, and family-centered way.
We will discuss normal dental development, teething, home care, proper fluoride regimen and diet.

Radiographs (X-Rays) are a necessary part of your child's dental diagnostic process.
Radiographs allow dentists to diagnose and treat conditions in bone and cavities between teeth that may not be detected during a clinical examination.
They are also important in situations where there has been trauma to the teeth and/or bone and in planning orthodontic treatment.
At Eagle Crest Pediatric Dentistry, we use the latest advances in dental technology including digital radiography, which reduces radiation exposure by up to 90%.

Sucking is a natural reflex and infants and young children may suck their thumbs or fingers.
Most children stop this habit by the time their permanent front teeth are ready to erupt.
Thumb sucking that persists beyond the eruption of the permanent teeth can cause problems with growth of the jaw as well as tooth alignment.
The intensity with which a child sucks on fingers or thumb will determine whether or not dental problems result.
Pacifiers are no substitute for thumb-sucking.
They can affect the teeth essentially the same way as sucking fingers or thumb.

Even before teeth erupt into the mouth, it is important to wipe the gums with a moist washcloth after each feeding.
Begin daily brushing as soon as the first tooth erupts.
We recommend a soft-bristled toothbrush with a 'smear' of fluoridated toothpaste for children under 2 years and a 'pea-size' amount of toothpaste for children ages 2 through 5 years.
For older children, we suggest reviewing proper tooth brushing procedures until they are old enough to brush by themselves.
Flossing is also a part of good oral hygiene, and should be initiated when teeth adjacent to each other come into contact.
