The Importance of Early Dental Care
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears.
Early dental visits help:
-
Identify developmental concerns before they become serious
-
Teach parents how to brush, floss, and maintain oral hygiene
-
Create a familiar and friendly experience for children
When your child starts early, dental visits become a positive routine — not a scary experience.
Preventing Cavities from the Start
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases in children (source: Tooth Decay – Wikipedia), but it’s also 100% preventable with the right care.
At ABC Kids Dental LA, we focus on:
-
Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
-
Dental sealants to protect new molars
-
Early assessments of tooth alignment and jaw growth
-
Guidance on pacifier use, thumb-sucking, and bottle feeding

Building Lifelong Healthy Habits
Good oral hygiene habits begin at home. Parents can help by:
-
Brushing teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste (Tooth brushing – Wikipedia)
-
Flossing gently once daily (Dental floss – Wikipedia)
-
Avoiding sugary snacks and drinks
-
Encouraging water after meals
-
Making dental checkups a regular family habit
Consistency at home, combined with regular dental visits, creates smiles that last a lifetime.
