Every child deserves a bright, healthy smile, but did you know that missing just one dental visit could set them back more than you think? Dr. Ricardo Suarez, DDS, knows that early, consistent dental care isn’t just about clean teeth; it’s about building confidence, preventing pain, and setting your child up for a lifetime of healthy habits.
So, please don’t wait until there’s an issue; visit us twice a year to avoid potential problems.
How Often Should My Child Visit the Dentist?
We recommend bringing your child in for their first checkup when their first tooth erupts or around their first birthday.
After that, we like to see them every six months for a routine exam and cleaning.
What Happens at a Child’s Dental Exam?
During your child’s first visit, we’ll get acquainted with them and focus on making their visit enjoyable. We’ll show them around and answer their questions.
If it’s ok with them, we’ll count their teeth and take pictures.
Once your child is older, we’ll focus on preventive care, giving them pointers on brushing and flossing. We may also recommend fluoride and sealants.
