The first two years of your child’s life is an exciting time of monumental changes, especially with their teeth. By the time they are two years of age, they will have grown most of their primary teeth and will need to begin caring for those teeth. At Georgia Orthodontics & Children’s Dentistry, we are honored to care for many of the toddlers’ teeth from birth to 2 years from the Milton, Alpharetta, Cumming and surrounding areas with top quality pediatric dentistry.
From birth to two years of age, a child will need their first dental exam at some point before 12 months. A good rule of thumb is when a child receives their first tooth, it is time for their first dental exam. As a child’s primary or baby teeth come in, they should receive a dental exam every six months to monitor the health of their new teeth. Although these teeth will fall out and be replaced, they still need to be maintained and kept healthy for optimum dental health. As soon as your child has teeth, you should brush them at least once a day before bedtime with a toothbrush and toothpaste that does not contain fluoride.
