In this video, Dr. William Kisker, Pediatric Dentist in Vernon Hills, IL sheds light on how to handle the children's first dental visit. Mothers are encouraged to practice excellent oral hygiene with consistency and diligence. During pregnancy, the stimulation of bacteria in the mouth multiplies faster due to hormones released during pregnancy, accelerating the process of dental decay and possibly gum disease that can be passed to the fetus. Once the child is born, it is recommended that the child be brought into the dentist office for their first visit at 7 months of age. The child's first visit is a play date to educate, discourage fear and apprehension and to familiarize parent and child with normal dental procedures and proper dental care. Regular check -ups for the child are recommended to monitor the baby's development of teeth and to diagnose and intercept any potential problems
