Pediatricians endorse early attention to oral health
The American Academy of Pediatrics released a policy statement highlighting the value of screening children for oral health starting at 6-12 months of age. Since most dental problems are entirely preventable, early screening, risk-management, and prevention can make it possible for all children to enjoy good oral health. With this policy statement, pediatricians join dentists in recommending early care. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has long recommended that a child's first dental visit be scheduled by the child's first birthday.
