Baby

Welcome to Dr. Beanca Children's Dentistry, the premier pediatric dental office serving the families of Huntington Beach and surrounding areas. As a board-certified pediatric dentist with over 19 years of experience, Dr. Beanca Chu and her team are committed to providing exceptional dental care for children of all ages. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of dental care for your baby and why it sets up good dental care for life.

Your baby's first dental visit should happen within six months after their first tooth comes in, or no later than their first birthday. You might think that this is too early for a dental visit, but there are several good reasons why your baby should see a pediatric dentist at this age:

1. To establish good dental habits early on

Pediatric dentists are specially trained to identify potential oral health problems in young children before they become serious issues. During your baby's first dental visit, Dr. Beanca Chu will guide you on how to best take care of your baby's teeth and gums. She will teach you about the importance of good oral hygiene, and how to properly clean your baby's teeth.

2. To monitor the growth and development of your baby's teeth

Your baby's first dental visit is the perfect opportunity for Dr. Beanca Chu to check your baby's teeth and gums to ensure they are developing normally. She will check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other issues such as improper alignment or bite problems. Identifying and addressing these issues early can prevent more significant problems down the line.

3. To familiarize your child with the dentist

Regular visits to the pediatric dentist will help your child become more comfortable with going to the dentist. Children who begin dental care at a young age are much more likely to have a positive view of the dentist, which can help them establish good dental care habits for life.
