Baby Talk (About Oral Health)

pediatric dental Lafayette

Taking care of a baby can be exciting, exhausting, and confusing. (All within the space of an hour.)

You worry about your son or daughter’s safety. “Did I cover all the outlets?” “Are the medicines locked away?”

You worry about your baby’s development. “Is he growing on schedule?” “Shouldn’t she be talking by now?”

And you worry about your baby’s health. “Is it an ear infection or strep?” “What are those red bumps?”

Those first few years can be stressful. New parents are on information overload.

Understandably, some new moms and dads don’t give their baby’s oral health a second thought.

That’s unfortunate. Proactive preventative dentistry has a significant effect on your youngster’s health. Total health. Overall physical health. Oral health is not a separate entity.

Early childhood tooth decay is:

  • Rampant through the U.S.
  • Completely preventable

Has your toddler had a dental exam? If not, now’s the time.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that dental visits should begin before the first birthday.

We invite you to schedule a pediatric dental checkup at Boulder County Smiles as early as possible. We help new parents keep their baby’s teeth healthy and prevent future troubles.

Let’s discuss your toddler’s oral challenges and make a plan to prevent decay. Dental sealants and fluoride supplements can help. We can discuss thumb-sucking, pacifier use, tooth eruption schedules, and other concerns.

We know you want the best for your child.

And so do we.
