At Gentle Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we want to start caring for your child’s teeth from the very beginning. It is important to start bringing your child into our office once they receive their first baby tooth. When you bring your child into our office, Dr. Sage White, Dr. Trevor White, and our team will work to make sure that your child is comfortable and relaxed. We can provide maintenance tips for at-home dental care, and our dentists can monitor your child’s growth to ensure that their smile develops normally. To schedule your child’s first dental visit in Cedar City, Utah, we invite you to contact us today at 435-586-9991.
Protecting your child’s teeth is important for life-long oral health. According to the American Dental Association, your child should have their first visit to the dentist no later than 6 months after their first tooth comes in and no later than your child’s first birthday. By visiting the dentist early on, you can help us protect your child’s smile as they receive their primary, and later, permanent, teeth.
When you bring your child into our office early on, we can help you know how to best clean your child’s teeth during the teething process, and while your child waits to receive their permanent teeth. We also discuss diet as an influence on oral health, as well as when fluoride toothpaste is appropriate. Our caring dentists and team can also help answer any other questions you many have about taking care of your child’s teeth. When you bring your child into our office, our dentists can also monitor your child’s growth for signs of any future irregularities. This can allow your child to receive early treatment, thus preventing future problems all together. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s first dental visit, we invite you to please call or visit our office. We are happy to help in any way.
