The earlier children start their regular dental examinations, the more likely they are to maintain a healthier smile throughout their lifetime. Dr. Luu of Gentle Care Dentistry of San Gabriel Valley has worked extensively with kids. She serves patients in and around the Duarte area. She provides services for patients of all ages to ensure confident, healthy smiles for all members of the household.

Introducing children to the dentist at an early age can help ensure they understand the importance of good oral health. Habits such as examinations and at-home care can be started early—as soon as the first tooth appears. This often happens around one year of age or earlier. This is the perfect time for patients to bring their children in for a well-baby visit, just as they do with their pediatrician. During this visit, parents and other caregivers can learn how to care for their children’s teeth to remain cavity-free. Patients can ask any questions they may have about their child’s smile, and can get the knowledge they need to maintain healthy teeth and gums until their next appointment.

Early involvement in dental care can also ease fears often associated with the dental office. When children are not brought to the dentist early, they may be anxious or nervous about what to expect. However, when children are introduced to the dentist as soon as they start developing teeth, they will become familiar with, and trusting of the dental team of Gentle Care Dentistry of San Gabriel Valley. Our staff is trained and experienced in helping the youngest of patients to be at ease during their examination and treatments.
