Did you know that The American Dental Association recommends that a child’s first visit to a dentist should occur around twelve months of age? For many parents in the Burnet, Kingsland, and Meadowlakes areas, this may come as a surprise. Today, we are going to review 4 reasons why your toddler’s teeth are worth a dental visit.
1. Twelve months of age happens to be about the time when a little one’s first teeth tend to erupt. Once those teeth are out, it’s time to get them looked at by a professional.
2. One of the important things your dentist in Marble Falls will do at this visit will be to clean those young teeth and apply fluoride.
3. Visiting the dentist in Marble Falls at a young age is a great way to help your child get used to the dentist’s office. This will help them to be more comfortable with the dentist as they grow older.
4. Visiting the dentist also helps parents enlist the help of other adults in establishing good dental habits in their children. Starting early dental visits will mean that later in life your child is less likely to require braces or other dentistry procedures such as dental implants.
If your child is apprehensive about visiting our dentist in Marble Falls, you might want to bring them for a short tour of our office beforehand. They can meet our friendly staff and learn what to expect when they come in for their exam. Once they’re comfortable at our practice, we can start to discuss treatments and options with them in a safe environment. At Ritchie Dental Group, we offer advanced laser dentistry, general dentistry, porcelain veneers, and teeth whitening. We look forward to meeting you and your little one.
