The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that parents establish a dental home for their child by the age of 12 months.
The goal behind early dental visits is to give a comprehensive assessment for oral conditions, while building a relationship with little ones and their parents. Parents are given an idea of what to expect for upcoming dental development, and educated on best practices for home care on a regular basis.
Before teeth are present, cleaning the gums with a wet washcloth after feeding is sufficient. Once teeth are present, using a small, soft toothbrush with a small “smear” or “rice-size” amount of toothpaste is appropriate.
