Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule my baby’s first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your baby’s first dental visit by age 1 (their first birthday) or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing.
What’s the best way to soothe my teething baby?
We recommend gently massaging your baby’s gums with a clean finger or providing a chilled (not frozen) teething toy. Extra snuggles and a consistent routine can also help your baby feel comforted during this stage. It’s best to avoid teething gels or numbing creams, as they aren’t recommended for babies and may cause harm
When should I start brushing my baby’s teeth?
For gums, use a soft, damp cloth. Once their first tooth appears, start brushing using an infant toothbrush with a smear (rice-grain sized amount) of toothpaste every morning and night . We’ll give you specific guidance during your first exam.
