* The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a dental check up every six months
starting no later than the child attaining one year of age.
Just as you need to establish a pediatrician for your child, you need to establish a pediatric dentist for
your child. Doing so will enable you to learn more about oral health issues and understand how oral
health plays a vital role in your child's development. It will also allow the pediatric dentist to examine
the shape of the baby's jaws and the condition of the oral tissues.
Bring in your child when the first tooth appears or no
later than his/her first birthday*. Starting early
examination and preventive care will protect your child's
teeth now and in the future. This examination allows the
pediatric dentist to examine the shape of the baby's
jaws and the condition of the oral tissues.
Your child's tooth decay is not the only reason
for a dental visit. Some children need more
frequent dental visits because of increased risk
of tooth decay or unusual growth patterns.

A child's oral health requires ongoing
assessment for changes to avoid future
problems and complications that could be
prevented.

Unfortunately, even in today's day and age,
many children pay the price of not having
received the instructions and preventive care
that can help avoid potentially serious
complications.
