Nurturing Your Baby's Smile with Infant Dental Care at Ready Set Smile
It's normal to wonder when your baby should first see a dentist. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that you bring your child to the dentist by their first birthday or within six months after the first tooth appears.
Dr. Amanda at Ready Set Smile Pediatric Dentistry encourages early visits to help your child’s oral health flourish right from the start.
From our cozy, calming environment designed like a nursery to our coordinated comprehensive care approach, we strive to ensure your family's needs are addressed in one place, without the hassle of multiple appointments.
