Many parents aren’t sure when their baby actually needs to see a dentist, especially before a full set of teeth has come in. Waiting too long can mean early decay goes unnoticed, while starting too early can feel unnecessary if you don’t know what to expect.
At Purple Tooth Dental, we recommend scheduling your baby’s first dental exam around their first birthday or soon after their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. These early visits are short and low pressure, focused on checking growth, feeding habits, and early signs of decay in a calm, welcoming environment.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski, DMD completed a pediatric dental residency with training in early childhood and infant oral health, and he and our team also speak Spanish for families throughout Mount Holly.
Contact our office today to schedule your baby’s first dental exam and start their oral health off on the right foot.
