If your child has at least one tooth, they are ready for their first dental visit, ideally by age one. Even if they don’t have visible teeth, a check-up can still help ensure their gums are healthy and developing properly.

Visiting the dentist early helps prevent cavities, monitor oral development, and instill proper hygiene habits while ensuring children feel relaxed at the dentist.

A dentist visit every six months ensures good oral health, though some kids may need additional appointments depending on their dental condition.

For sure! First teeth aid in speech articulation, chewing function, and keeping space for permanent teeth. Not caring for them can lead to decay and long-term dental concerns.

With specialized education in child development and dental care, pediatric dentists create a positive and comforting environment for young patients, including those with special needs.
