When Your Child Should Start Seeing the Dentist
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help familiarize your child with the dental office environment and set the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
How to Prepare Your Child for Their First Dental Visit
To make your child's first dental visit a positive experience:
- Talk Positively About the Dentist: Use positive language when discussing the dentist and explain what to expect in simple, reassuring terms.
- Bring Comfort Items: A favorite toy or blanket can help your child feel more secure.
- Schedule Wisely: Choose a time of day when your child is usually well-rested and in a good mood.
The Benefits of Regular Dental Visits for Your Child

- Preventing Cavities: Early detection and treatment of cavities protect your child's teeth.
- Promoting Healthy Habits: Dental visits reinforce the importance of brushing and flossing.
- Monitoring Development: We track the growth and development of your child's teeth and jaws.
