Located in Jersey City, NJ, we are your local pediatric dental experts. True Dental Care can lead your child on their journey to a healthy, beautiful smile.
Preventative care is one of the simplest ways to make sure your child’s mouth stays healthy and develops properly. Laying the groundwork at an early age will create healthy habits they will carry with them into adulthood.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry suggests infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to 1 year old. We recommend an oral exam for children when their first tooth erupts.

Exams at an early age may prevent treatment later.
Routine cleanings and exams are necessary to make sure your child’s teeth stay healthy throughout childhood. Two professional cleanings a year are recommended to maintain optimal oral health.
Studies show the earlier a child receives their first dental exam, the less dental treatment they needed over the course of their youth.
