It may surprise you, but even those very first teeth are highly vulnerable to decay. At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Westside Dental Associates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, our goal is to keep Los Angeles\u2019s children cavity-free &#8212; and routine pediatric dental care can make that happen.<\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Visit the Pediatric Dentist<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to scheduling your child\u2019s first dental appointment, we recommend that your child to begin seeing Dr. Latner around the age of one. A few teeth should have erupted by that age, and a simple visit with your pediatric dentist can start your child\u2019s oral health off strong. In this first visit,Dr. Latner can check on oral development and provide a gentle cleaning. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they\u2019ve had their first dental appointment, routine, twice-a-year visits to the dentist can help your child avoid a lifetime of dental anxieties. As your little one gets a bit older, Dr. Latner can guard his or her teeth from decay-causing bacteria with preventive methods like dental sealants, which shield their back teeth from cavities, and fluoride treatments for extra-strong enamel.<\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Latner Is The Right Dentist For Your Whole Family<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because he offers excellent dental services for your young child and for everyone else in your family, too, Dr. Latner\u2019s office offers quality and convenience.
