The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a checkup every six months in order to prevent cavities and other dental problems. However, because every child is unique in its oral health, it is important to get a personalized prevention program from your child’s Sala Family Dentistry Pediatric Dentist.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child should visit the dentist by his/her first birthday or whenever the first baby tooth has erupted. It is important to establish good oral hygiene and dietary habits at an early age. This first visit allows the parent to receive valuable information regarding their child’s teeth and oral health, as well as establishing a “dental home” for the child.
