Dental Health Care for Children

Dental health care for children varies by age because their mouths and teeth develop in stages, each with unique needs. Each stage builds on the last, supporting long-term oral health and proper development.

Please select an age:

Infant, age 001   Children, ages 1-4
 
Children, ages 5-11   Children, ages 12-17

This information is intended for general guidance only and should not replace professional dental advice. Everyone’s oral health needs are different, so be sure to consult your dental health care provider to determine the best care plan for your individual needs.
