A childs’ tooth development can vary for various reasons, but for the most part, their first tooth or teeth should erupt when they’re around 6-12 months old. At Design Dentistry, we recommend that you bring your child in as soon as you glimpse their first tooth. It’s vital to keep an eye on their tooth growth, so we can prevent future infections and track their oral needs as their complete set of baby teeth begin to develop. Many people don’t realize there are several beneficial reasons for bringing your child to the dentist when they’re young.
As your NW Edmonton dentist, we strive to be a kid-friendly dental clinic that offers pediatric care to help ensure and guide you throughout your child’s dental growth and eliminate your worries. Our team of dentists commits to addressing your child’s dental needs in a caring and professional way.
A dentist visit has a lot of great things for your child’s oral needs. Here is a list of why you should establish your child’s dental home as early as a few months old:
- We will inform and help you resolve a child’s unhealthy habits, such as finger sucking and using pacifiers.
- A continuous dental visit helps your child prepare and eliminate their dental anxieties by establishing a dental home. At Design Dentistry, new child patients are welcome.
- We will give you professional advice when you start taking your child to the dentist to help and guide you in the progress of their dental growth so that when they grow up, they will experience fewer oral and dental problems.
A child’s first tooth emergence may get you worried, but when that happens, a dentist in Alberta can attend to your child’s oral needs. Taking your child at an early age to a dentist may be an additional financial issue, but going to the dentist later on with much more complex cases and needs may add more financial burden in the future. Talk to your dentist about your child’s dental needs. To learn more about children’s dentistry, call us today to request an appointment.
