Even tiny grins need some TLC! Set your baby’s smile up for a lifetime of thriving oral health with our specialized infant care.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children see the dentist by their first birthday. Primary or baby teeth typically begin to erupt by 6 months of age, and it’s important to have your infant’s first teeth examined by a board-certified pediatric dentist to ensure their oral health is on the right track.
Your baby’s teeth started to develop before they were born.

By the first tooth or the first birthday, whichever comes first. Early visits are short, gentle and mostly about prevention, feeding habits and getting your child comfortable with us.
A knee-to-knee exam with you holding your baby, a look at the teeth and gums, a gentle cleaning if needed, and time for your questions about teething, bottles and brushing.
Wipe gums with a damp cloth before teeth arrive. Once a tooth appears, brush twice daily with a soft infant brush and a rice-grain smear of fluoride toothpaste.
Milk pooling around teeth overnight causes early childhood cavities. Avoid putting your baby to bed with a bottle, and wipe the teeth after the last night feeding.
Usually the lower front teeth around six months, with the full set of 20 by about age three. Wide variation is normal — we track it at each visit.
