Establising a Dental Home
Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a “Dental Home” for your child by one year of age.
Children who establish a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventative and routine oral health care. The purpose of establishing a Dental Home is to provide a place other than the Emergency Room for parents and patients to receive dental care.
