Infant Oral Care

Infant dental care should be seen as the foundation on which a lifetime of preventive education and dental care can be built. Oral examination and preventive education at your infant's dental visits can enhance the opportunity for a lifetime of freedom from preventable oral disease. Infant dental care begins with appropriate prenatal nutritional counseling for parents.  A postnatal initial oral evaluation should occur within 6 months of the eruption of the first primary tooth and no later than 12 months of age.    (Next time.... what that first visit entails at Children's Dental Specialists)
