Fresno Parents: Do You Know AAP Recommendations?

Children’s Dental in Fresno

Are you a parent or a parent-to-be? Today’s blog post is for you. For years, experts at the American Academy of Pediatrics advised parents to begin taking children to the dentist before their third birthday. The AAP and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry now recommend that toddlers see a dentist before their first birthday, or within six months after their first tooth appears. Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Some children may have a higher risk of developing certain dental issues, even though most of these habits are ones they’ll grow out of. Other factors include:

  • Sleeping with a bottle
  • Drinking juice continually during the day
  • Abnormal tooth development including demineralization and staining
  • Thumb sucking
  • Tooth grinding
  • A mother with extreme dental caries
  • Other health issues
