Why Your Child’s First Dental Visit is Essential for a Healthy Smile!
Did you know that children should see a dentist as soon as their first tooth appears, or no later than their first birthday? 🦷 Starting dental visits early helps set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles! At Just Kids Dental, we specialize in making your child’s first dental experience positive, comfortable, and educational.
Dental Problems Can Begin Early
A big concern is Early Childhood Caries (also known as baby bottle tooth decay or cursing caries). Children risk severe decay from using a bottle during naps or at night. The earlier the dental visit, the better chance of preventing dental problems.

We treat children and young adults, ranging from 0-20 years old! We’re here to help you and your child ensure they maintain a healthy smile and get the healthcare and education they deserve!
Routine Appointments Could Save You Serious Money
Early Prevention Saves Money for Families and Communities. Children who had their first preventive dental visit by age one were more likely to have subsequent preventive visits but were not more likely to have subsequent restorative or emergency visits. At Just Kids Dental, we’re here to help establish healthy habits and identify problems early, before they turn into a big expense or burden.
It is estimated that over 34 million school hours are lost each year due to dental problems, and children with poor oral health are at the greatest risk for absence from school.
Did You Know Tooth Decay is the Number One Chronic Infectious Disease Among Children in the U.S.?
Many parents are surprised to learn that tooth decay can begin as early as age 1. Children with tooth decay are far more likely to develop immediate and long term oral health issues, including pain, infections, difficulty speaking, problems eating food, tooth discoloration and even tooth loss.
