The American Association of Pediatric Dentistry and American Association of Pediatricians recommend a child's first dental visit when the first tooth comes into the mouth or by one year of age. Early dental visits provide the opportunity for education, prevention, and early intervention when required.
Left unchecked, cavities grow over time. Particularly insidious are those cavities that occur between the teeth. Not readily visible, these cavities can grow over time, unseen. With early visits to the dentist, tooth decay or factors contributing to the formation of cavities can be identified, modified and reduced through early intervention at the appropriate time.
Treating children from infancy through adolescence requires not only specialized training, but also the flexibility and insight to connect and communicate with children at varying developmental stages. Providing each child with age appropriate information, instruction and experiences is where the Bluefish Dental doctors and staff excel.
There are many pediatric dental options for patients and families in Central Oregon. Bluefish Dental (Dr. Cate Quas, Dr. Susan Armstrong and Dr. John Frachella) distinguishes itself as a place for those parents who want to understand and take an active role in their children's dental care and development.
