We recommend that your child’s first dental visit occur by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits are crucial for setting the stage for positive dental experiences, establishing healthy oral habits, and catching potential issues before they become serious.
At Southeast Family Dental, our goal is to make your child’s early dental experiences comfortable, positive, and beneficial for their long-term health.
Expert Care for Tongue and Lip Ties
For some children, seeing a dentist even earlier may be necessary. Dr. Laura Geiger is experienced in evaluating and treating tongue and lip ties that can impact breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and even early speech development.
These conditions, which restrict the natural movement of the tongue or lips, can be frustrating and challenging for parents and babies. Dr. Geiger offers gentle, effective treatments to resolve these issues and ensure your baby thrives.
