learn their smile shirley nyAbsolutely none of us on this planet were born with some inherent knowledge of how to care for our oral health needs. We all needed someone to teach us how to properly care for our smiles, including how and when to brush, floss, and see the dentist for routine checkups.

When It’s Time For Their First Visit

As a parent, it can be tough to know your child’s schedule. It’s hard to trust just about anything that you read on the internet these days, and so you want to work with a trusted pediatric oral health team to know when it’s time for their first visit. If you’ve been holding off because you’re not sure where or when to start, reach out to a local dentist to find out more about their first steps.

The general recommendation is that children start seeing their dentist whenever they develop their first teeth or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. But, if you have questions, it’s always a great idea to call their dentist to find out a little bit more about their schedule. And then once you’ve made a plan, be sure to stick to it; little smiles can experience plaque and tartar buildup, just like you do.

Helping Them To Learn Their Smile Maintenance

Everyone had someone else to help them learn how to brush and floss. If you’re a parent, then you know how tough that can be to do on your own. Even though they love you, they might always put enough effort into their oral health maintenance, and we can be a trusted outside resource. We jump at the chance to be a guiding hand for little ones, so help them learn their smile with quality dental education.
