when to take your child to pediatric dentist dr. purvi v. shah
* 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.
A child’s oral health
requires ongoing
assessment for
changes to avoid
future problems and
complications that
could be prevented.
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.
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.
