Our practice along with The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by his or her first birthday. Children who have an estsablished dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
The Dental Home is intended to provide an child-friendly environment to service a child's dental needs, thus avoiding Emergency Room visits for dental issues.
