Your Child’s First Visit: What You Can Expect
At Magnolia Family Dental, we help make each of your child’s visits easy, stress-free and even fun—starting with the first. As your child’s dentist, our primary goal at this first visit is to familiarize your child with our office, dentists and our team so that we can establish a relationship of trust with your child. We will also examine and clean your child’s teeth in a way most appropriate for their age level. Following, Dr. Smith or Dr. Bittler is happy to answer any questions or concerns you have.
The Importance Of Caring For Baby Teeth
While baby teeth will inevitably fall out and be replaced by permanent “adult” teeth, they should not be overlooked. Healthy baby teeth benefit your child’s dental health and play an important role in your child’s nutrition and their ability to eat and chew. They also save space in the mouth for the permanent teeth and help guide the teeth in place. Keeping them healthy, strong and free of cavities is a vital part of setting your child’s smile up for success.
