Your Baby’s First Dental Appointment

Monday, Aug. 17th 2015 6:36 AM

Here are some topics your dentist may discuss with you at your baby’s first dental appointment. 

* Good oral hygiene practices for your child’s teeth and gums and cavity prevention
* Whether or not fluoride treatment is needed
* Their oral habits (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, lip sucking)
* Their developmental milestones
* The dental may go over teething issues with you
* Proper nutrition
* Dental appointments: Many dentists like to see children every six months to build up the child’s comfort and confidence level in visiting the dentist, to monitor the development of the teeth, and promptly treat any developing problems
