Dr. Rugama and our team know that cavities know no age boundaries, and that is why we recommend a visit to our Richmond office by a child’s first birthday. That also happens to be the opinion of our friends at the American Academy of Pediatrics, as well as the American Dental Association.
Research has shown that more than one in four kids has had at least one cavity by the time they’re four years old. In fact, many children get cavities as early as age two, which is a critical reason why you should pay us a visit sooner rather than later. Your child’s appointment at Tooth in Boots also covers topics such as the importance of baby teeth, nutrition, development, and any concerns you may have with your child’s dental health. We believe that your child’s first visit with Dr. Rugama should be an enjoyable and positive one, and we strive to teach good oral care that will enable your child to have a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
To learn more about baby teeth, or to schedule your child’s next visit with Dr. Rugama, please give us a call today! We look forward to seeing you!
