If you have a toddler who has not been to a dentist, we urge you to consider making an appointment today by calling Christopher A. Bowman, DDS, PA at 704-337-8070.
The best time to start dental check-ups for young children is when their teeth first appear. This may seem a bit early; however it is a great time to become acquainted with preventative dentistry options such as sealants and fluoride supplements. Your dentist can assess the health of your child’s teeth before problems begin and it’s also helpful for parents to get a refresher course on proper oral hygiene for young children.
My name is Christopher Bowman of Advanced Dentistry of Charlotte. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to begin children’s dentist visits before the third birthday. If you have questions about pediatric dentistry, please give us a call at Christopher A. Bowman, DDS, PA.
