Your kids should have access to reliable dental care, as they – like you – can benefit from preventive services in important ways. While everyone in your household should see a dentist for support, you and your children can have different needs from these visits. With that in mind, it may surprise you to hear that our Moreno Valley, CA dentist’s office is prepared to meet with patients of all ages! Our office understands that people in different age groups have different needs from us. For our youngest patients, we focus on care that both helps kids familiarize themselves with the dentist’s office and prepares them for a lifetime with healthy, attractive teeth!

When Should My Child See Their Dentist?

Typically, a child should see their dentist for the first time by their first birthday, or around the time their first tooth erupts. Initial visits make comfort a top priority. Your dentist can gently check on your baby’s developing smile while taking care to make them feel at ease. This comfort helps them grow familiar with the environment of the dentist’s office, which can make future visits easier. Once they are ready, they can transition to a kind of care that more closely resembles what adults enjoy during their preventive dental visits. However, we still provide additional focus on education and guidance, which helps them develop their ability to protect their teeth.

How Pediatric Visits Help Kids Protect Their Smiles

In addition to providing reviews and careful teeth cleanings in the office, our practice offers kids other important forms of support. As they near the age when they can brush and floss for themselves, we can give them guidance to help them learn how to effectively practice these habits. We can also provide information on cavities, and why prevention is so beneficial. For even more support at a young age, we rely on dental sealants and fluoride treatments to keep their enamel safe.

Everyone In Your Family Should Enjoy Regular Dental Services

 Our practice is here to help everyone in your household enjoy healthy, confident smiles. You may be more comfortable with caring for your teeth at home than your kids, but that does not mean you have nothing to gain from routine visits. During appointments, we will help you deal with tartar buildup, watch out for gum disease, and even provide early treatment if you have cavities.
