Spring Hill Pediatric Dentistry

As parents, we understand that your childs health is your top concern. At Spring Hill Pediatric Dentistry, our goal is to partner with parents to provide their children outstanding dental care that will ensure them a lifetime of healthy smiles! We believe that healthy smiles begin in infancy and that proper dental care is as important as their diet... , immunizations, and other doctors appointments. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children first see the dentist at one year old or when the first tooth emerges. Its important to see a dentist early in a childs life because it allows the doctor to examine his/her mouth and discuss specific oral hygiene instructions for the child. Parents should begin brushing and flossing their childrens teeth when the first tooth emerges. When the child is old enough, parents should teach their children how to brush and floss properly. Setting a high standard of oral hygiene early in life will help children develop healthy oral hygiene habits for life! Just like an adult, children should see the dentist a minimum of twice a year. The mouth is constantly changing and growing in childhood and along with this growth can come injuries and issues that, when addressed early, can be easily treated.
