Studies have shown that the earlier a child receives their first dental exam, the less dental treatment was needed during their youth. We recommend oral exams for children when their first tooth erupts.
Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Addie Chang suggests infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to 1 year old.
Dr. Addie Chang will review proper diet, age-appropriate hygiene, and go over pacifier use to make sure your child’s oral health starts strong and stays strong.
