When should I schedule an infant dental exam for my child?

At Echeverri Dental Center, we treat patients of all ages, including infants. We believe that early dental care is vital for:

  • Developmental Monitoring
  • Early Intervention

Oral Movement and Function

We welcome infants as soon as their first tooth pushes through the gum and earlier if you have specific questions or concerns.

At Echeverri Dental Center, we have board-certified dentists on staff, making us a destination clinic for pediatric dental care in Houston.  

Infant Dental Exam in Steps

Step #1: Your Child’s Comfort

First, we ensure your child feels at ease with our team and comfortable in the environment. We always speak to kids in age-appropriate language and take measures to build trust. This makes them less fearful of the dental setting.

Step #2: Infant Dental Exam

After we’re sure your child feels at ease, we examine their teeth and gums for health and ensure the jaw joints and arches are all in line. We then begin tracking and monitoring their oral development.

Step #3: Communication

We always set aside time to share findings and answer any questions you might have about your child’s oral health. We can also share advice for at-home care, including pacifier use and teeth cleaning.
