Infant Dental Visit

Infants and Parents

Love Their First Visit at SPD!

As soon as the first tooth appears or within the first few days after birth, schedule your infant dental visit in Frisco at Stonebrook Pediatric Dentistry! We see babies very early to ensure the best start for their oral health and overall well-being. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends scheduling a first dental visit when the first tooth comes in or by your child’s first birthday.

First Infant Dental Visit in Frisco

At our practice, we not only follow AAPD guidelines but also welcome newborns within days of birth if parents are experiencing breastfeeding or latch issues. Additionally, we are well-connected within the Frisco community and can help parents find an international board-certified lactation consultant for added support. During your infant’s first dental visit, Dr. Bhaumik and Dr. John can also evaluate for a possible tongue tie to address any feeding concerns early on. Let us help ensure your little one gets the best start for a lifetime of healthy smiles!

Early Infant Visits

Are the key to a lifetime of healthy teeth AND to prevent dental anxiety.

Parents accompany their baby into our dedicated infant room, where Dr. Bhaumik, Dr. John, and our team thoroughly examine your baby’s mouth, teeth, gums, throat, tongue, and muscle attachments. To put it in perspective, these early dental visits are like “well-check visits” with a pediatrician, but focused on your child’s oral health. At Stonebrook Pediatric Dentistry (SPD), we firmly believe that babies and children deserve the specialized care that only pediatric dentists can provide, ensuring they receive the best preventive care possible!

Parents can Accompany Their Kids

For older children, their first visits take place in our open bay. To make parents comfortable, we offer chair-side benches where they can watch as their child receives oral hygiene instructions and a cleaning from our SPD team. Witnessing your child get their teeth cleaned for the first time is especially rewarding, as you see them grow from an infant into a confident child happy to visit the dentist!
