When Should Your Child First See a Dentist?
Earlier than you think
The recommendation is around age one, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are mostly introductions — checking the teeth, talking about brushing and diet, and letting your child get comfortable with the clinic.
Why baby teeth matter
Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help with chewing and speech. A cavity in a baby tooth can cause pain, infection, and alignment problems later — it's not something to ignore.
Making the visit fun
Choose a clinic that's patient with children. A good first visit is short, gentle, and ends with a smile — not a drill. That positive memory shapes how your child feels about dentists for life.
