Corey I. Johnson, DDS
We understand that the dentist office isn’t a child’s favorite place to be, but our team at Sunlight Dentistry is experienced at working gently with little patients from the Roaring Fork Valley. We’ll do what we can to put your kids at ease and make the experience as comfortable as possible.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that you bring your child for their first dental appointment when their first tooth comes in, which is usually between the ages of 6 and 12 months. By visiting the dentist early, you can better educate yourself on how to care for kid teeth, and to ensure a great start to a lifetime of oral health.
Be sure to help your child clean their teeth with a soft-bristled, child-size toothbrush. To further protect baby teeth from decay, Dr. Corey Johnson may also suggest dental sealants.
For more information on dental sealants, preventive children’s dentistry, and pediatric dentistry in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, please contact us. We are committed to caring for your youngest family members.
