Did you know that a child's first dental exam should take place within 6 months after his or her first tooth erupts or around his or her first birthday? At this visit, we look for early signs of decay, evaluate how teeth are coming in and share oral hygiene tips. Call our office today to schedule your child's first dental exam!

* Poor saliva production
* Periodontal (gum) disease
* Diabetes
* Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
* Smoking
