Getting dental care as a child helps build a strong base for a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles. Cohen Family Smiles has a special program for baby oral exams that lets you find a great dental home for your child early on, kind of like a pediatrician for the mouth.
Put smiles first from the start!
You should start taking care of your baby’s teeth when they are one year old, or sooner if they get their first tooth. But you can start taking care of your baby’s teeth before their first visit to the dentist.
Before teeth come in, clean your baby’s gums often with a damp, soft cloth.
Do not use a baby bottle with sweet drinks as a pacifier during naps. Even fruit juice and milk have sugar and acid that can wear down teeth that are just starting to come in.
If you take your child to the dentist regularly, they might never need major dental work. The dentist at Cohen Family Smiles, Dr. Maria Cohen, does oral exams in a way that makes children feel at ease. Talk to Dr. Maria Cohen right now to make an appointment for your baby’s first visit to the dentist.
What to Look Forward To…
There are two important parts to taking care of an infant’s teeth. One is to check out the child and treat them if needed. The other is giving parents information, direction, and help.
Parents are welcome to be here and take part.
Dr. Maria Cohen will carefully look at the child’s mouth to see if there are any problems.
You are welcome to talk about any worries you may have and ask questions.
