Children’s Dental Care

It is very important to begin proper dental care for your children as soon as they get their permanent teeth. Parents should begin brushing their child’s teeth as soon as they erupt. By about age 2 or 3 children are usually ready to learn how to brush their own teeth; however, they will still need assistance for several years.

Dr. Alyson loves her “young” patients and recommends that children see a dentist at approximately 3 years of age unless any abnormalities or staining of the teeth are noticed prior to this. This first visit can be a very fun experience for a child …having their teeth counted, getting a new toothbrush, and of course receiving a gift from our toy box!
