Ages Seen
Thiel Pediatric Dentistry sees children from birth through college age.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child be seen for routine examination as soon as they have their first baby tooth (around one year of age). This examination may reveal developmental problems or dental disease, which should be treated early. There is also a great deal of information to teach parents early in their child's developmental in order to maintain the best possible oral health for their child.
As a child grows and becomes more comfortable with our practice, then tooth cleaning and X-rays will be initiated. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a dental check-up at least twice a year for most children, although some need more frequent visits because of increased risk factors for tooth decay and unusual growth patterns.
Dr. Thiel takes pride in individualizing each child's case for the most conservative approach.
