If your child has not seen a dentist by their first birthday, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Delaying a dental visit could increase the risk of early childhood cavities and other oral health issues.

Introducing dental visits early minimizes cavities, detects dental health concerns early, and encourages good oral care while making check-ups feel natural for children.

A visit to the dentist twice a year is recommended for children, but additional appointments may be necessary for some.

Indeed! Baby teeth shape speech, enable efficient eating, and help permanent teeth emerge properly. Not caring for them can cause early decay and dental misalignment.

With additional expertise in child-specific care, pediatric dentists offer tailored treatments, behavior support, and special needs accommodations to make visits smoother.
