Even though they don’t have their permanent teeth yet, young children still need to see the dentist. In fact, the ADA recommends that children start seeing the dentist as soon as their first tooth erupts. There are so many benefits to starting regular dental visits at a young age, not the least of which is getting children in the habit of taking good care of their teeth.
When you begin prioritizing your children’s dental care at an early age, you are setting them up for a lifetime of good oral health and overall well-being. They will quickly learn that a healthy mouth is key to being a healthy person.
When children are raised with regular dental care as a routine, they will view the dentist as an essential healthcare provider and will be more likely to continue seeing the dentist regularly throughout their lives, in turn teaching their own children the importance of good oral hygiene.
Children are always welcome at Chichetti & Patel Dental Wellness! Our dentists and team happily see children ages 2 and older in the office, and we will work with you to make sure your child has a positive dental experience and learns the good oral habits that will help keep their smiles healthy for a lifetime.
