One of the common topics parents ask about when they visit our office is when they should bring their child to the dentist. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) recommends that parents find a dentist for their child by the age of one, or when their teeth begin erupting. Primary teeth typically start to erupt around six months of age.
At R2 Center for Dentistry we are the leading family dentists in Marion, KS, serving many patients in the area. Our doctors and staff are trained to work with children, and we support superior dental health. We encourage parents to start early to build a foundation for good oral hygiene
.
There are many benefits to bringing your child to the dentist. Our team can make sure your child’s teeth are coming in properly and get in front of any issues. We can provide tips and tricks to help your child learn how to care for their teeth. Creating a relationship with our patients is important and we enjoy watching them grow each year when they come in for a visit.
Benefits of Primary Teeth in Children

• Primary teeth help save space for adult teeth in the future.
• Help children to chew food properly.
• Promote a healthy smile, and give children confidence about their appearance.
