First Dental Visit Guide

So many parents ask one common question: when should a child’s first dental

visit be? Most children are brought to the dentist only when there is pain

or sensitivity. Or when they have food stuck in decayed teeth which causes them

sudden discomfort. Ideally, the first dental visit should be within the first

year of life. Or as soon as the very first milk tooth erupts from the

gum line. An early visit helps parents learn how to clean gums and brush

teeth properly. It is the best way to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent

future problems.
