When Should My Infant See the Dentist?

Bringing an infant to the dentist may seem strange, since infant children typically don’t have most of their teeth. But did you know that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that infants see the dentist when they turn 1, or within 3 months of getting their first tooth?‍

At Kids Tooth Team, we provide gentle care for young kids. With a “lap exam,” you’ll hold your infant child on your lap as one of our dentists cleans their teeth and gums and assesses their oral health.‍

After your child’s consultation, you can discuss your child’s oral health with their doctor, ask any questions you may have about their oral development, and get all the information you need to care for their smile as they grow.

Signs of Teething & What to Do

Most infants begin to get their first tooth around 6 months of age, though it may take longer for some kids. Knowing what is normal and how to care for your little one during this time can help set them up for a lifetime of smiles!

Common Teething Signs

Common signs of teething include irritability, disrupted sleep, inflammation and swelling of the gums, drooling, and a rash around the mouth.

Help Soothe Discomfort

Teething rings, which are usually made of soft silicone, can also allow your child to bite and put pressure on their teeth and gums, which helps with the discomfort of teething.

Caring for Teething Infants

You don’t need to do anything special to deal with teething. If your child is very uncomfortable and cranky, you can soothe their gums by rubbing them with a clean finger or cold washcloth, or rubbing a cold spoon on their gums.
