The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen by the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first.

Early dental visits help:

• Monitor development: Ensure your child’s teeth and gums are growing correctly.
• Prevent dental issues: Catch potential concerns early to avoid more significant problems later.
• Build comfort: Introduce your child to the dental environment in a fun, stress-free way.
• Educate parents: Get expert advice on brushing, diet, and healthy habits.

Starting dental visits early helps set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Feel free to reach out if you’re unsure when to schedule your child’s first visit—we’re here to help!

A little preparation can make your child’s first dental visit a positive experience. Here’s how you can help:

• Stay positive. Talk about the dentist in an upbeat way and avoid words like “hurt” or “pain.”
• Try books and videos. Fun, kid-friendly stories can help your child feel ready for their first visit.
• Practice at home. Pretend to play by counting their teeth with a toothbrush or practicing opening wide.
• Schedule wisely. Choose an appointment time when your child is well-rested and not hungry.
• Bring a comfort item. A favorite stuffed animal or toy can provide reassurance during their first visit.
