Are you concerned about your child’s oral health? Do you wonder if it’s time to set their first dental appointment? We assure you that early dental checkups are essential to your little one’s ongoing oral health and development.
Early children’s dental exams in Miami include:
- A comprehensive overview of their oral development
- Counting teeth, if any have erupted
- Guidelines for at-home oral care and teething comfort
- Answers to all your questions
As your children's dentist, we see children as young as six months old to give you peace of mind and give them an excellent head start on their oral health.
Why Early Dental Visits Matter
Your Child’s Well-Being: Early checkups help your child feel secure and confident with our dental team. This can prevent dental phobia later, even during their adult years.
Baby Teeth Are Vital: Early dental care helps ensure your child doesn’t lose their baby teeth too soon. These teeth act as placeholders for adult teeth, aid in speech and chewing, and contribute to their development.
Oral Development Monitoring: We monitor your child’s oral development from the beginning. Early dental visits, with regular follow-ups, help us compare oral changes and intervene immediately if issues arise.
Of course, ongoing dental care is also vital to prevent tooth decay and oral infections. The latter can be extremely painful and lead to tooth loss without intervention.
Regular Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
As your child grows, we incorporate age-appropriate care to ensure their success. Soon, counting teeth will graduate to periodic x-rays and thorough teeth cleanings. We can also treat the enamel with fluoride to strengthen it and coat the teeth with sealants to prevent recurring tooth decay.
