Pediatric Dentist in Corpus Christi
Foster Your Child’s Relationship with Dentistry
Oral health is important at every age, and there is no better time to establish a foundation with dentistry than in childhood. The earlier you introduce your child to the dental environment, the more positive present and future dental experiences will be – and the better our pediatric team can treat any concerns before they escalate. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child’s first dental visit be within six months of initial tooth eruption, or no later than their first birthday.
Routine Visits Help Prevent Oral Health Concerns
Even before your child’s first tooth erupts, having a home care and dental cleaning routine is important. Being familiar with your child’s oral health along with keeping up with regular care from infancy into the teen years minimizes decay and gum disease, and the need for future treatment. At Gardenia Family Dentistry in Corpus Christi, we recommend the following to keep your child’s smile healthy, happy and bright:
- schedule biannual exam and dental cleanings.
- co-brush and floss well into childhood years.
- encourage proper brushing and flossing techniques.
- ensure a balanced diet for tooth and gum health.
- reports any areas of concern injury or changes in oral health immediately.
