Pediatric Dentistry - Gentle Care for Your Child's Smile
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) defines pediatric dentistry as a specialty that provides primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children. It is recommended that children visit the dentist when their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday, to prevent dental problems early.
At Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Mechanicsville, we understand the importance of making children feel comfortable and confident at the dentist. We take time to educate both parents and children about oral health and establish daily dental hygiene habits, such as proper brushing and flossing.
We also follow the AAPD's recommendation that children visit the dentist every six months for preventive care, helping to avoid cavities and other dental issues.
