When to come /
When should you bring them?
Ideally, before anything hurts. These are the most common moments.
Their first tooth came in
Their first visit should be by age one, or within six months of the first tooth coming in.
They’ve never been to the dentist
If they get to know the office before there’s a problem, they’ll be calmer about checkups later on.
You see a spot, or it hurts
Cavities move fast in baby teeth. Better to have it checked soon.
They fall asleep with a bottle
It’s the habit that causes the most cavities in babies. At the visit, we’ll tell you what to change.
The first visit /What to expect
An unhurried visit. Babies usually spend it sitting on mom’s or dad’s lap.
We talk
You tell us about their habits: bottle, pacifier, sweets and how their teeth get brushed.
We check
We look at how their teeth and gums are coming along and, if needed, take X-rays.
We explain
We tell you what we found and give you their plan and a written estimate.
Surprise prize
Before leaving, they get their surprise prize. We want them to want to come back.
At home /
What really makes a difference
What you do at home matters more than any visit, and the list is shorter than it looks.
The basics
- Clean their gums with a damp gauze, starting before the first tooth comes in.
- As soon as the first tooth comes in, brush it twice a day with a smear of fluoride toothpaste the size of a grain of rice.
- Don’t let them fall asleep with a bottle of milk, formula or juice.
- Don’t sweeten their pacifier or share spoons with them.
