Things To Remember When Caring For Your Baby’s Oral Health
You can take steps to provide oral care for your baby before their first tooth even arrives. Gently cleaning their gums with a soft, wet washcloth or piece of gauze will protect them against the formation of bacteria. When your baby’s teeth start to arrive, you will take a careful, caring approach to protecting them against cavities. Once that first tooth arrives, you can schedule their first appointment with your Dallas, TX pediatric dentist. Starting care at this stage provides your baby with great oral health support, and gives you information about their development, as well as how to continue caring for their smile. (more…)
Making Sure Your Child Has A Great First Visit Experience
Every patient should be able to enjoy a dental treatment experience where they feel safe and secure, in addition to feeling great about their oral health care. A person’s overall comfort at the dentist’s office can be shaped by their earliest appointments, which is why these initial meetings are so important. At your Dallas, TX pediatric dentist’s office, children can be welcomed for care once their first tooth arrives for an introductory visit. In addition to checking on that tooth’s development, your dentist will take the time to introduce your child to the equipment in the office, and make certain they have a chance to grow comfortable in these new surroundings. By creating the right first impression, kids can be more comfortable, and more relaxed, at subsequent checkups. (more…)
