Tips for Your Child’s First Dental Appointment

When should my child see Dr. Bodie for the first time?

At Jack Bodie DDS in Richardson, this is one of the most common questions we hear. While it’s really never too early, most children should have their initial appointment by around their first birthday.

A good rule of thumb is that when your baby’s first tooth appears, you should call to schedule an appointment. No, there’s not a lot of cleaning to be done yet, but the dental professionals at Jack Bodie DDS can provide excellent advice about keeping your child’s teeth and gums healthy from the very beginning. Preventative care will protect your baby’s smile now and in the future.

For more information about your child’s dental care or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bodie, call Jack Bodie DDS today at (972) 235-4767.

Don't Forget to Floss!

Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line.

Visit Our Office Regularly!

Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.

Mouthwash Is Important, Too!

Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis.
