Dentist for Infants
Dental care for infants is different from dental care for older kids, but it’s no less important. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends seeing a pediatric dentist during your baby’s first year or when their first tooth comes in, usually between 6-12 months of age.
Along with the guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend scheduling a first birthday visit at our office to help us establish a relationship with your child and familiarize ourselves with their particular dental needs. As your baby grows, healthy teeth benefit their eating habits, speech patterns, and self-confidence.
Dentist for Toddlers
As your baby becomes a toddler, it’s important to schedule regular appointments with a dentist. When your child becomes able to handle objects and run around, the desire to taste and bite just about everything grows. This behavior can be risky, causing tooth damage or worse, so it’s important to help them learn safe oral habits.
This is also the time when your child can begin to learn how to brush their own teeth. Dr. Paul, our pediatric dentist, will help your toddler learn fun and engaging ways to practice oral self-care to keep their teeth healthy during these exploring years.

Dedicated Care From Our Pediatric Specialists
As with many aspects of a child’s growth, development, and related health care, your child’s oral care should be overseen by a dentist with the experience and training needed to properly meet the unique needs of children’s oral health. Having a pediatric specialist –also known as a pedodontist – is vital to ensure your child receives the specialized care required for developing teeth and jawbone structure.
At California Dental Care & Orthodontics, our children’s dentists complete an additional two to three years of focused training dedicated to oral health and development from infancy to the teenage years.
