Dentistry For Children

Do YOU know the answer? Can you guess what age the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends bringing in your child for a checkup with an orthodontics specialist? Hint: By this time, your child will have a mix of baby and permanent teeth! SPOILER: The correct answer is seven! If it’s time to schedule your early orthodontics evaluation, give us a call today! #braces #Local #perfectsmile

A little one’s first wiggly tooth is an exciting (S)milestone for both the child and parents! Children can lose their first baby tooth as early as age 4 while others may not experience a wiggly tooth until about age 7. If the timing seems off for your child’s teeth, be sure to speak to your pediatric dentist. For those first wiggly teeth, encourage your child to wiggle the tooth often with the tongue or by brushing until it comes out, remember it's wiggly because the new permanent teeth are pushing inhurray! When did your child lose their first tooth? #firstlosttooth #pediatricdentistry #dentalhealthmonth

Your child’s first dental cleaning will include an inspection of their mouth, an examination of their bite to see how their teeth come together, and a cleaning. Incorporating dental visits every six months and establishing a dental home early in your child’s life can prevent many dental issues and set your child up for a lifetime of good oral health. Call us today to schedule an appointment! #firstcleaning #smilestone #pediatricdentistry
