Clairemont Pediatric Dental
Clairemont, 858-650-0838
www.clairemontpediatricdental.com
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first dental visit at 1 year old. Our philosophy is to treat the patient as a whole rather than merely treating teeth. During your child’s visit we’ll discuss the importance of early oral care to help with “malocclusion” or crooked teeth, bite problems, even prevent the need for tooth extractions. We can discuss prevention of “baby bottle tooth decay” to protect your child, and help you help your child break a thumb-sucking habit before permanent teeth come in. Early oral care can enhance your child’s smile, but the benefits far surpass appearance. Your child will be healthier and happier, with a great smile to show for it!

Some facts about children’s teeth you may not know: 1) The American Association of Pediatric Dentistry policy is for a child to have their first dental check-up by age one; 2) Diluted juice can pose a risk of tooth decay when there is prolonged or frequent exposure to sugar on the teeth. The most common cause of cavities at 2 years old is continued use of a juice bottle; 3) “Weak teeth” are extremely rare. Most children with decay need improvements in oral hygiene and diet.
