Your Child’s First Teeth
Your child’s first teeth begin to appear usually between six and nine months, though there are some cases this happens as early as three months or as late as twelve months. The first of the 20 teeth to appear are the two lower front teeth followed by the two upper teeth. Typically, the first molars are next followed by the canines (eyeteeth). You can help teething discomfort by wiping your child’s gums and newly erupting teeth with a water-soaked gauze pad or damp washcloth.

daily brushing routine
When your baby steps into toddlerhood, around age 2, it is time to begin the daily brushing routine. We recommend using a small, soft-bristled toothbrush with a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste. You will need to help your child with this important task until about age 6.

sedation dentistry
We know each child’s dental journey will look different. If your child needs extra help to get through a dental visit or procedure, we offer a variety of levels of sedation from anesthetic shots to IV sedation. All medical history is evaluated, and all information provided before you decide if sedation dentistry is best for your child.
