Your child should begin regular dental visits after their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. Routine check-ups every six months after that will help maintain their oral health and catch any issues early.

Early dental appointments minimize the risk of cavities, detect dental abnormalities, and reinforce healthy habits while making children comfortable with dental visits.

A twice-yearly dental exam and cleaning is standard for children, though their dentist may recommend more visits for specific oral health concerns.

Definitely! Primary teeth assist in pronunciation, support proper nutrition through chewing, and prevent crowding of permanent teeth. Poor maintenance can lead to cavities and future problems.

Pediatric dentists cater to children’s unique dental needs from infancy through their teenage years, using specialized training to manage behavior and treat special needs patients effectively.
