Infant Oral Health
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD’S SMILE
At Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry, we are happy to see your child as early as the first tooth eruption in accordance with the PDA recommendations. Our doctors and the entire team can better plan out a lifetime of great oral health for your child if they can see it from the earliest stages of development!
When you bring your child in for their very first dental visit, you can expect only the warmest and friendliest experience. We even have you hold your child on your lap throughout the visit for extra comfort.
These early dental visits accomplish several things:
- Allow our doctors to better understand your child's oral health needs
- Create a better relationship between your child and our doctors and staff
- Prevent unnecessary problems from surprising you or your child later on
WHY IT
MATTERS
While all of us at Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry encourage you to bring your child to see us during these early stages of development, it’s especially important to Dr. Lucia. During dental school, Dr. Lucia found passion in the importance of getting infants to the dentist early. In fact, her entire thesis was written on this very subject! Throughout her research, Dr. Lucia realized the long-term benefit this could provide her tiniest patients! She was even responsible for starting a clinic at Nationwide Children’s hospital with the intent of seeing and treating children at this early age.
We would welcome you to call our office today and schedule a time for Dr. Lucia or Dr. Marlina to sit with you and your baby. You’ll be setting the foundation for a lifetime of great dental health for your child!
