At Old Greenwich Dental Associates, over a third of our patients are children. We love to help our youngest patients feel as comfortable as possible from the moment they walk through our door. Our pediatric dentists in Old Greenwich, CT, recognize that children’s initial experiences at the dentist can impact their attitudes toward dental care for the rest of their lives. Because of this, we don’t simply strive to provide state-of-the-art dental care for children; we also make sure your child associates the dentist with safety, relaxation, and even fun!
Your baby’s teeth need attention as soon as they break through the gums. The American Dental Association recommends your child sees a pediatric dentist when they cut their first tooth, but definitely no later than their first birthday. A baby can still get food particles trapped between teeth and gums just like an adult – with similar results over time when they don’t get special care.
Your child’s first dental visit is not nearly as overwhelming as it may seem now. By bringing your child to our Old Greenwich dental office, you will help your child learn about the dentist through positive, gentle interactions. We also use these visits to talk with you about brushing techniques for children and other oral health habits that can potentially benefit your child for a lifetime.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics, both recommend that the first dental visit should take place by the time your child is one year old, once their first tooth has erupted, or whichever one takes place first. Prevention is the first line of defense when it comes to a healthy mouth. Taking your child this young to the dentist is the most effective way to ensure their oral health is off to a great start.
