The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first dental exam for children by age one. Toddlers and preschoolers present with unique personalities ranging from shy to outgoing and curious. We do realize these amazing young patients have a limited attention span. The first exam is designed to be quick, thorough and provide anticipatory guidance for parents.
Below are common questions and our answers about the best way to care for children's teeth. A toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, especially one designed for infants, is the best choice for infants. Brushing at least once a day, at bedtime, will remove placque and bacteria that can lead to decay.

We waited at least 2 months to get into the this dentist. WE are new to the area and my daughter needed a new dentist. She is under my primary health insurance from work but also has Medicaid as a secondary. We get there on time, I had her the cards she says we don't accept Medicaid patients, I said no worries just use her primary. She tells me ooo no I can't, I need to talk to the dentist.
They REFUSED to see her because of her SECONDARY INSURANCE! The lady did this pretty loudly in front of the other people in the waiting room. So she not only embarrassed me in front of a stranger but also my daughter. So nope, I wouldn't recommend.
