Roots Pediatric Dentistry—Where Small Smiles Come to Grow!

Parents often wonder “Do I really need to bring my 1 year old to the dentist?” The answer is simple—YOU DO!

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all children visit the dentist by their 1st birthday, or within 6 months of the eruption of their 1st tooth. These early visits plant the roots for a lifetime of successful dental visits and good oral health!

Age 1 dental visits are important for so many reasons.

🦷 Patients get acclimated to the dental environment early so they never have to think the dentist is scary.
🦷 Parents get the education they need to feel empowered to make healthy choices for their child’s teeth.
🦷 We are able to detect any potential issues before they become real problems. We’re not only checking for cavities, but also assessing potential airway and growth and development issues as well. When things are caught early, they are much easier to manage.

Happy Nurses Week to our incredible RN, Amy! 🩺 If your child has ever been sedated in our office, then you have experienced her compassion and kindness firsthand. Along with her nursing expertise, she brings a sense of calm and comfort to our patients and their parents during what could potentially be a stressful time. She is truly a light in the office, and we are so grateful for her! 👩🏼‍⚕️🫶
