What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on children's oral health from infancy through the teenage years. It involves a wide range of dental services, including the prevention and treatment of diseases of the teeth and gums and the maintenance of overall oral health. Our goal is to ensure a positive experience for your child, helping to establish a foundation of excellent dental habits that will last a lifetime.
When Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children go to the dentist by age one or within six months after the first tooth emerges. This early visit helps us guide parents in cavity prevention, ensuring proper oral development from the start.
How Can I Prepare My Child for Their First Dental Visit?
Talk to your child about what to expect in simple, positive terms. At Jensen Beach Smiles, we strive to make visits fun and stress-free. You can also read them books about going to the dentist or play games with dental themes to make them feel more comfortable.
