Pediatric Dentistry  
 

We see children of all ages and encourage you to bring your child in around the age of 3 years old for their first dental checkup. Children's teeth begin forming before birth. As early as 4 months, the first primary (baby) teeth erupt through the gums. All 20 of the primary teeth usually begin to appear by age 3, but the pace and order in which they do so will vary from child to child. To ensure oral health of your child follow these following recommendations:

  1. 1) Limit children's sugar intake

    2) Make sure children get enough fluoride, either through drinking water or chewable tablets

    3) Teach your child how to brush and floss correctly

    4) Supervise brushing and help with flossing as this can be hard for small hands
