If you have a toddler who has not visited a dentist, we encourage you to make an appointment today by calling Mason Dental Cosmetic – Implant – Family at 817-481-4717.
The ideal time to start dental check-ups for young children is when their teeth first erupt. This may seem a bit premature, however, it is the best way to start your son or daughter on the pathway to lifelong oral health.
Your dentist can assess the health status of your child’s teeth before problems emerge or existing issues get worse. It’s also helpful for parents to brush up on appropriate oral hygiene for young children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that parents begin dental visits before the third birthday. If you have questions about pediatric dentistry, please give us a call at Mason Dental Cosmetic – Implant – Family.
Children with a higher risk of dental problems should receive a dental examination as early as possible. Here are some of the risk factors:
- Sleeping with a bottle
- Drinking juice repeatedly during the day
- Abnormal tooth development
- Thumb sucking
- Tooth grinding
- A mother with substantial tooth decay
- Other physical ailments
Bring your questions to our excellent staff at Mason Dental. We are located at 801 W Wall St in Grapevine, Texas. You can reach us at 817-481-4717. We want your child to enjoy a lifetime of oral health.
