How do I go about cleaning my baby's teeth?

For infants, it's best to use a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, particularly one designed specifically for infants. Brushing at least once a day, preferably at bedtime, effectively removes plaque bacteria that could lead to decay.

At what age is it recommended for my child to have their first dental visit?

The general guideline is to schedule the first dental visit by the first birthday. To proactively address dental concerns, it's advisable for your child to see a pediatric dentist when their first tooth emerges, typically between 6 and 12 months of age, but certainly no later than their first birthday.

Why opt for a pediatric dentist rather than our regular family dentist for my child?

Pediatric dentistry is a specialized field focused on the oral health of young individuals. After completing dental school, a pediatric dentist undergoes an additional two to three years of specialized training to address the unique needs of infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special health requirements.
