Your child's first set of teeth, the primary teeth, are extremely important. Strong, healthy primary teeth help your child chew food properly, learn to speak clearly, and look good. In addition, your child's general health can be affected if diseased and broken primary teeth are not treated early. Taking your child to the children's dentist regularly can prevent serious dental disease. Preventive services such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants are less costly than the cavity fillings, crowns and other treatments that your child may need if the teeth are neglected. Regular infant dental care visits to Dr. Banas can save time, money and your child’s teeth. We are proud to offer infant dental care services to patients across Buffalo, NY and the surrounding WNY areas.
A child should have his or her first dental visit by his or her first birthday.
There seems to be a lot of confusion among parents, pediatricians and dentists about the correct timing for the first dental visit. Many family dentists may tell parents not to bring children to their practice until they have all of their primary teeth; some even recommend waiting until children are in kindergarten. Parents are told, "We have to wait until your child is old enough to sit still.”
