Guess what? It’s super important for kids to start seeing the dentist early. At Luna Pediatric Dentistry, we’re all about making that first visit before your kiddo blows out their first birthday candle or when that very first tooth pops in. It’s all about making them feel right at home with us.
Prepping for Visit Number One
Getting ready for this big adventure is easier than you think. Talk it up as something super fun. Dive into a good story about it or play dentist with their stuffed animals. For you, grab any health info you’ve got and jot down your questions. Wondering what goes down at a visit? Peek at our post on dental cleanings for the little ones.
What About the Second Time?
Round two is a breeze and comes up about six months later. It’s our next chance to make sure your little one is still cool with the whole dentist thing. They might get a bit of cleaning or some fluoride to fight off cavities. Want the inside scoop? Our post on why dentists are like superheroes has all the details.
Home Care Tips
Taking care of those tiny teeth starts at home. Before teeth even show up, wipe those gums gently. Once teeth make an appearance, brush them softly twice a day. Keep sweets rare and drink plenty of water. Letting your kids pick their toothbrush and toothpaste can make them excited about brushing. Need more tips? Check out our advice on spotting gum disease.
