Age One Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends dental visits within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early preventative care significantly reduces future dental expenses and treatment needs. Our age one visits focus on establishing proper oral hygiene habits and monitoring early dental development.
