The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child have their first oral/dental examination between 12-18 months.
This first visit will consist of a comprehensive oral exam and cleaning.
This early examination will provide a baseline for future exams.
It is important to detect decay early to lessen the need for more extensive restorative treatment.
We would like to thank you for choosing our practice for your child's dental care.

Proper personal oral hygiene is really a simple matter.
It means this: Every surface of every tooth must be kept free from organized colonies of bacteria (plaque).
Make our program a habit.
Teeth can be maintained for a lifetime if the plaque is removed once a day, every day.
Start on your upper right side.
First brush the chewing surfaces, then brush the cheek surfaces, followed by the inside of the mouth, all the way around your tongue, finally reaching back to the farthest part of your mouth.

Extensive decay can occur in baby teeth before the age of 24-30 months and often less than 12 months of age.
Children who go to bed with a bottle or sippy cup, or whose liquid diet consists of juices and/or sugared drinks, have a greater incidence of decay.
Early childhood caries (ECC) are most often due to poor or improper oral hygiene and diet, especially prolonged night-bottle feeding and use of the sippy cup.
Sweet or acidic liquids are most harmful; i.e., apple juice, sweet tea, soft drinks, chocolate milk, even formula and/or breast milk.
