Pediatric Smile Care

Baby teeth usually start coming in between six and nine months, though anywhere from three to twelve months is normal. The lower front teeth tend to arrive first, then the upper front teeth, then molars, then canines.

Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend you come and see us within six months of the first tooth erupting, or by age one, whichever comes first.

We’ll get your child started with a daily brushing routine involving a soft-bristled toothbrush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste. Most kids need a parent's help until around age 6, so we’ll encourage you to make it a team effort. The habits they build now are the ones they carry for life.
