Starting Early
It’s important to start your child early with good dental hygiene and oral habits that will last well into their adult life. Most children begin teething around six months and usually get all of their baby teeth by the age of three. Protecting your child’s oral health is important. We take prevention and education seriously and believe in promoting strong foundations in prevention and home care. Owings Mills Dental Care offers a wide range of services to meet the needs of your child.
We recommend that you schedule your child’s first appointment when they turn one or when the first tooth appears. By starting early dental care, your child is less likely to develop complex dental concerns such as:
- Cavities
- Tooth Decay
- Gum disease
Routine dental checkups are key to protecting your child’s oral and overall health.
What to Expect
At the first visit, your child will be examined for cavities, oral injuries or other problems such as tooth decay. Your child’s teeth will be cleaned and the dentist will discuss concerns such as teething issues, pacifier use, or finger/thumb-sucking habits.
Our pediatric dental team will help you and your child learn fun and entertaining ways to promote good oral hygiene. Remember, starting early will help promote healthy oral habits. We look forward to serving you and your family.
