Kids Dentistry
Healthy habits begin at a young age. That is why pediatric dentistry is so important. When your child attends routine dental cleanings and examinations at Smile Box Dental, he or she will be receiving the highest-quality compassionate care possible by the best pediatric dentists. In addition to simply cleaning the teeth, our skilled and knowledgeable team will also foster a friendly environment, where your child can develop proper oral hygiene habits that can offer a lifetime of benefits.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry suggests that your make your child’s first dental appointment by his or her first birthday or within six months of the eruption of the first tooth? This will ease your child into a dental routine and help them understand that going to the dentist can be fun. Even more importantly, this first visit can allow your doctor to identify any potential issues early on. During the appointment, the doctor will assess your child’s teeth, gums, jaws, and oral soft tissues. Depending on their age and need, we may also clean your child’s teeth, and recommend any necessary preventative treatments, such as topical fluoride or dental sealants.
By the end of this first consultation, your dentist will be able to determine your child’s specific dental requirements and will recommend a cleaning and examination schedule based on those needs.
