When Should Your Child See a 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 dental visits are important because they:
Help your child get comfortable with the dental office at a young age
Allow the dentist to monitor tooth development and jaw growth
Catch early signs of cavities, thumb-sucking damage, or bite issues
Give parents guidance on brushing techniques, fluoride use, and nutrition
Establish a dental home where your child's history is tracked over time
After the first visit, we recommend bringing your child in every six months for a checkup and cleaning. Regular visits help prevent dental problems and keep your child's smile healthy as they grow from toddler to teen.
