You want your child’s dental visits to be as stress-free and positive as possible.

Which is why you need to check out the new pediatric dental practice in town: Pediatric Dentistry of Savannah at 310 Eisenhower Drive.

Dr. Cara DeLeon, DMD Pediatric Dentist, is now welcoming new patients. She is known for providing the highest level of care for both healthy and special needs children.

Dr. Cara recommends taking your baby to the dentist by their first birthday.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Dental Association all recommend scheduling an appointment once your child’s first tooth has come in, which is usually between 6 and 12 months.

As an introductory meeting, this first friendly visit gives Dr. Cara a chance to check for signs of early decay, as well as talk to you about cavity prevention and proper teeth-cleaning techniques.

In the event of a tooth injury or emergency, you will have already established a dental home at Pediatric Dentistry of Savannah just in case.

Dr. Cara is committed to preserving the treasure of your child’s smile by helping your children establish a positive attitude toward dental care and a strong foundation for the best possible oral health.

Now that’s really something to smile about.
