“Old habits die hard”: It’s best for your child to form good oral hygiene habits early! Did you know that children should be seen by a dentist by the age of 1? Yes, 1! It is important for your child to become familiar with your dental office so that they don’t develop a fear of the dentist later. The dentist (Richards Frankel Dentistry) should be a comfortable, familiar place for your child. This way, mom, dad, and your child leave happy! Your child’s first visit will allow the dentist to make sure that his/her oral structures are developing properly.
