Give Your Kids a Healthy Mouth

Although it may surprise you, The American Dental Association advises parents to schedule the first dental appointment for their son or daughter at 12 months. However, there are some very good reasons why your one-year-old toddler needs to see the dentist.

Around the age of one, your children’s teeth will begin to erupt. Once those teeth have made their appearance, it is time to have them checked out by your dentist.

One of the first things that your child’s dentist will do is check out and clean the young teeth before applying fluoride. Fluoride is the best defense when it comes to keeping your child’s teeth healthy.

When you take your child to the dentist at a very young age it will help he or she get used to the office. Having a family dentist who sees your kids twice a year will help them overcome any fear of the dentist that they may have.

During your child’s first visit to the dentist’s office, you may want to ask a team member from the dental office for a tour. Once a child is comfortable in their surroundings, they are less likely to suffer from dental anxiety.

Visiting the dentist also helps you enlist a welcome hand from other adults when it comes to good oral health habits. Starting dental checkups early in life may also mean that your child will be less likely to need cosmetic dental procedures, such as dental implants or less likely to wear braces.

During your checkup, your dentist may also give your child instructions on how to brush and floss. It’s important that you make brushing and flossing fun so that it becomes a habit that your kids will actually enjoy.
