How often should my child visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting or by their first birthday. Afterward, routine checkups every six months help maintain their oral health.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
Your child’s first dental visit establishes the foundation for lifelong oral health. During this appointment, we check for early signs of dental problems and teach you how to care for their teeth. Your child will meet our friendly team and enjoy a fun, interactive experience in the dental chair. The dentist will examine their teeth for decay, alignment issues or other concerns while reviewing daily oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing and minimizing sugary foods.
