When Should Kids Have Their First Dental Visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth comes in. Why so young? There are plenty of reasons to consider pediatric exams at this age!
- It helps your child grow up with the dentist, easing fear and anxiety.
- It ensures that baby teeth are clean and healthy.
- It helps prevent common problems with infants’ teeth, such as plaque buildup and erosion.
