Importance of infant exams

Infant dental exams are crucial for detecting early signs of potential oral health issues and establishing a foundation for lifelong dental health. These exams help in understanding the unique needs of your child’s oral health and setting the stage for preventive care.

What happens during an exam?

During an infant exam, the dentist will gently inspect your baby’s mouth to assess the development of teeth and gums, check for any unusual signs, and guide you on proper oral care practices for your child. Learn more about your first visit here.
