When should my child have their First Dental Visit? 

Your child’s First Dental Visit should take place as soon as their first tooth appears and every 3 months after. Our dentist at Carrera Dental and Braces believe being proactive about your child’s dental health today can help keep his or her smile healthy for life. 

Being positive about your child’s visit will make it more comfortable for them. Practice opening their mouth so when the dentist checks and counts their teeth they will have a pleasant experience. 

During the visit we will review these items:

• Health History
• Dental History
• Primary Caregiver’s oral health
• Risk of Caries
• How to clean their teeth 
• Development of mouth/ teeth
• Oral Habits
• Diet/ Nutrition
• Fluoride Needs
• Injury Prevention
• Medications
