Baby’s First Dental Visit: A Parent’s Guide from Sparks Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, Nellore

When Should Baby First See a Dentist?

The Indian Academy of Pediatrics & Dentistry recommends:
🦷 First visit by age 1
🦷 Or within 6 months of first tooth appearing

At Sparks Dental Clinic & Implant Centre in AC Nagar, we specialize in gentle, tear-free first visits that set the foundation for lifelong oral health.

Why Early?
✔ Prevents "bottle caries" (baby bottle tooth decay)
✔ Checks for tongue/lip ties affecting feeding
✔ Guides parents on teething & brushing

What to Expect During the Visit

1. Fun Introduction (5-10 mins)

• Let baby explore the colorful kid’s chair

• Our team uses toys & puppets to build trust

2. Knee-to-Knee Exam (2 mins)

• Parent holds baby while dentist checks gums/teeth

• No scary tools—just a soft finger brush & mirror

3. Personalized Guidance

We’ll discuss:
🍼 Feeding practices to avoid cavities
🪥 Brushing techniques for new teeth
🦷 Teething remedies for discomfort
🚫 Pacifier/thumb-sucking effects

"My baby giggled through the entire visit!"
