Paediatric Dentistry in Kurnool

Your Baby's First Dental Visit

At SARA Dental Clinic, we strive to create a positive and caring atmosphere for your child's initial dental visit. Our primary objective during this visit is to establish a positive association between your child and our dental team, which fosters trust and comfort. We adhere to the guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), which recommend the first dental visit at the age of one year.

This visit is crucial to understand your child's oral health development process. During the initial visit, our team will conduct a gentle examination and cleaning to ensure that your child's teeth are healthy. Our dentist will also provide routine oral care, including a comprehensive examination, teeth polishing, and fluoride application. If necessary, we may also use x-rays for diagnosis.
