Baby Dental, Starting Dental Care for Baby
By the time your baby is six months of age, your dentist should assess the likelihood of your baby having future dental problems. This may include a dental exam of the mother and her dental history, as the condition of her teeth can often predict her child’s teeth. Be sure your child sees a dentist after the first primary teeth appear. After your first visit, schedule regular visits every six months or as your dentist recommends.
Experts recommend that your baby see a dentist no latter then 12 months of age. Babies with dental problems caused by injury, disease, or a developmental problem should be seen by a children’s pediatric dentist right away. If these dental problems are not limited to the surfaces of the teeth, your baby should also be seen by a children’s pediatrician or your family doctor.
