What is infant Dentistry?
Infant dentistry, also called age one dentistry, is essential for establishing a foundation of strong, healthy teeth for your baby. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child see a dentist within six months of their first tooth emerging, or by age one—whichever comes first. Early exams at Pediatric Dentistry of Round Rock let us closely monitor your child’s oral health and development right from the start.
Our experienced pediatric dental specialist can identify early signs of tooth decay, delayed eruption, and other concerns before they become bigger issues. We are committed to answering your questions, teaching you effective oral hygiene habits, and helping your child feel comfortable with their dentist—key steps for lifelong dental success.
At Pediatric Dentistry of Round Rock, our infant dental services are personalized for your child’s needs, including:
- Cavity risk assessment: We carefully check for signs of decay and educate parents on how to spot trouble at home.
- Fluoride treatments: Our safe, effective fluoride applications help fortify growing teeth and prevent cavities.
- Nutritional counseling: Get guidance on feeding and bottle habits to minimize the risk of baby bottle tooth decay, whether you breastfeed or formula-feed.
- Dental sealants: We recommend sealants when appropriate if your child’s teeth are more prone to cavities.
- Brushing instructions: Receive expert tips on brushing and caring for your baby’s gums, even before the first tooth appears.
- Cavity treatment: Should cavities develop, we offer gentle fillings to support your child’s oral health from the beginning.
