Did you know that a child should start seeing the dentist when their very first tooth pops up? Many parents wait till much later to begin with regular dental exams, but starting earlier can have a huge impact on a child’s overall oral health. At Dental Care of Plano, we want your kids to feel comfortable coming to our office, and even excited about having their teeth checked out! That is why we create a calming atmosphere that is friendly and welcoming to our pediatric dentistry guests.
Why So Early?
Even before the first tooth erupts, a dentist can get a pretty good idea of what sort of dental concerns your child may face as they get older. When the first tooth comes in, the dentist can begin to consider ways to prevent those predicted dental issues. If it appears that a child will have alignment issues, for example, it is much easier and much more affordable to address the issue early, rather than wait for braces.
Create Lifelong Habits
When kids are introduced to dental care very early, it allows them to build lifelong habits of great oral healthcare. This means that your child will always smile confidently, and you’ll know that they are doing what they can to protect their overall health as well. We believe that in order for a child to develop these positive habits, a good experience with pediatric dentistry is vital. For kids who are anxious about coming to the dentist, we can also provide a safe and effective sedative known as laughing gas that will help them feel relaxed.
