It’s an exciting milestone for your child, but it shouldn’t be scary. You and your child will have a stress-free experience if you prepare well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Young<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Rancho Cucamonga Dentist <\/a>recommend that your child have his\u00a0first appointment<\/strong>\u00a0before his first birthday.\u00a0Studies have shown that children who are preschool age tend to get more cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child should visit the dentist within six months after he gets his first tooth. This will allow the dentist to evaluate his tooth and recommend the best way to prevent decay. This will help your child get used to visiting the dentist and reduce future fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice Good Dental Hygiene at Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0American Dental Assocation<\/strong>\u00a0states that babies are most at risk of developing dental decay once their teeth start to show.\u00a0The ADA suggests that you start gently wiping your baby’s gums with a damp cloth a few days after he has been born.\u00a0This should be done every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the first tooth is visible, you can begin brushing it with a small toothbrush and some water. When the child turns two, you can add a small amount of fluoride toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set an example of excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take your child to the dentist with you if you can. Make sure that you have someone older than your child, or someone who can look after your child while you are in the chair. Your child can watch his older siblings get their exams and do any dental work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can help your child develop good oral hygiene habits at home by flossing and brushing together. He will be less likely to fear going to the dentist if he views dental visits and routines for daily hygiene as a normal part of his day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visit your local library or bookstore to find books and videos on oral care and visiting the dentist. You can find books featuring familiar characters and videos on YouTube that feature your child’s favorite characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child’s first visit to the local Rancho Cucamonga dentist<\/a> can be a great start to a long and successful career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
