When Should My Child Start Dental Visits?
Your child should visit a pediatric dentist by age 1, or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits:
Help children feel at ease in the dental setting
Allow us to catch problems like bottle decay or tongue-tie early
Provide parents with guidance on teething, brushing, and diet
