The early milestones in child development are important. When it comes to oral health milestones, early dental visits provide you with beneficial information, and they help kids develop a sense of comfort around oral health care. At our St. Louis, MO dentist’s office, parents can count on us for ongoing support once their child is old enough for their initial appointment. We can even make these visits easier to arrange by providing complimentary dental exams for children under two when parents come in for their own appointments.
When Is It Time For Me To Bring My Child To The Dentist?
A child should have their initial appointment, also known as the “well baby exam,” within six months of when their first tooth arrives, or by their first birthday. When they come in for their first visit, Dr. Johnson-G’Sell can provide a warm and welcoming first appointment, one that introduces them to our office environment and gently evaluates their developing teeth and oral structures. From this first appointment, we can provide continued support through gentle reviews; once they are old enough, we can transition to the kind of preventive services that older patients enjoy.
The Long-Term Benefits To Pediatric Dental Care
Early visits provide you with feedback about your child’s oral health and development. They also give you a chance to learn how you can make sure they enjoy the appropriate hygiene support. You can enjoy complimentary care for kids under two when you come in for your own routine dental checkups. As they grow up, kids’ oral health needs during visits come closer to what their parents depend on. With that said, they also receive additional guidance on oral hygiene at home, and we continue to monitor their growth and development to look out for issues like malocclusion.
