When to schedule baby's first dentist appointment?
It’s recommended to schedule your baby’s first dentist appointment by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. Early visits are essential for monitoring your child’s oral development and addressing any potential issues before they become significant concerns. Our toddler dentist appointments are designed to be gentle and informative, ensuring you and your child feel comfortable and confident in their dental care journey.

Can cavities in baby teeth affect permanent teeth?
Yes, cavities in baby teeth can impact the development of permanent teeth. If left untreated, decay in baby teeth can spread to the underlying permanent teeth or lead to infections that affect the overall oral health of your child. Our pediatric dental services, including silver diamine fluoride treatments, are designed to prevent and treat cavities in baby teeth, safeguarding your child’s future smile. Early intervention and proper care are key to ensuring that baby teeth remain healthy and do not compromise the health of permanent teeth.
