Our pediatric dentist, Dr. John Kwon, recommends that children have their first dental visit as soon as their first teeth erupt. Early visits with their children's dentist help your little one feel comfortable when they visit our office, allowing Dr. John to begin monitoring their dental health and development.
Tooth decay and cavities are common problems for children that can cause discomfort, cause them to lose learning time at school, and impact their self-confidence. Routine visits to the pediatric dentist every six months help us to detect any problems as early as possible, which makes them easier and more comfortable to treat.
Preventive visits are a great time for parents to ask questions about their baby's oral health and learn tips for dental care at home. Parents play an integral role in helping children develop good habits and routines for oral care at home, and children will need help and supervision brushing their teeth until around the age of eight. Dr. John and his team are happy to provide you with guidance and tips for products and techniques that help your child make the most of their brushing and flossing at home.
If it's time to schedule your baby's first visit or your child's next appointment, call your pediatric dentist in Media at (610) 892-9280.
