Why is it important to visit the dentist early?
Routine visits help us to catch problems early on! We focus on preventative dental care, which helps set you and your family up for a lifetime of excellent oral health.
Welcome
The earlier we can establish trust with you and your child, the less likely they are to develop problems like dental anxiety in the future.
We use customized care plans to ensure your child’s specific needs are being met. The first visit is also a great time to talk to the doctor about:
- baby bottle tooth decay
- infant feeding practices
- mouth cleaning
- teething
- pacifier use
- finger-sucking habits
At Indian Trail Dental Care
We strive to provide the highest quality dental care to all members of your family, including the youngest! First impressions are very important to Dr Shelby and the team (and no, we’re not just talking about your teeth!).
That’s why our team focuses on creating a fun and friendly environment for every visit. Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children have their first visit to the dentist by their first birthday? Routine checkups are vital to your child’s oral health, and common dental issues and dental anxiety are much less likely if your child is comfortable with the dentist at an early age. Having a positive association with going to the dentist will set you and your child up for success!
