Building Your Practice With Infant Dental Exams

 

Not all dentists are aware of the urgent need to provide early care to children and establish their dental home. By performing infant dental exams, you stand to gain many new patients, and parents with young children may refer you to their peers. The knee-to-knee technique and fluoride varnish treatments used in these exams are non-traumatic, thus providing infants and toddlers with positive early dentist experiences which will help them grow up to be compliant dental patients.
