Frequently Asked Questions
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child's first dental visit should occur within six months after the first tooth erupts, and no later than their first birthday. Early visits help establish a 'dental home' and allow us to monitor healthy development.
Absolutely! Milk teeth (primary teeth) are crucial for proper chewing, speech development, and saving space in the jaw for permanent teeth. Neglecting decay in milk teeth can lead to pain, severe infections, and orthodontic problems later in life.
