The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends bringing your child to the dental office every six months starting either by the age of one or whenever their first tooth erupts. These visits are designed to help your child build a positive relationship with their family dentist in Fair Oaks, keep common dental health problems like cavities at bay, and examine their mouth for developmental concerns. If Dr. Rivera spots any concerns that may require the attention of a specialist, she can refer them to another expert. However, we’re equipped to provide most dental treatments in-office.

What Can Your Child Expect During a Dental Checkup?
