When to Schedule Your Child’s Dental Visit:
The American Dental Association recommends that parents schedule their child’s first dental visit around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. These initial visits are crucial for establishing a positive relationship with the dentist and monitoring your child’s oral development.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for children to maintain healthy smiles. We recommend scheduling visits every six months. These appointments allow us to assess your child’s oral health, provide professional cleanings, and address any emerging issues promptly.
