When Should Your Child See a Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling a child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help:
- Establish a comfortable relationship with the dentist.
- Identify early signs of cavities or bite issues.
- Provide parents with guidance on oral hygiene and nutrition.
After the first visit, children should see a dentist every six months for regular exams and cleanings.
