Dental surgery visits

Getting to know the dentist and the dental surgery staff is very worthwhile. The best time to take your child to the dentist is shortly after the first tooth erupts, usually by twelve months of age. You can ask the dentist questions about your child's dental care and learn more about dental problems. In early preventive visits, the dentist is able to detect developing problems in the early stages, when they are solved more easily, painlessly and inexpensively. More important, your child will have positive early experiences in the dentist's surgery. By the time she is three, she will be a dental-surgery veteran. Most future visits will be preventive in nature, rather than the traditional drill-and-fill sessions that haunt the childhood memories of so many adults.
