The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a pediatric dentist by their first tooth or first birthday. This way any developing problems may be detected, treated early, or prevented.
Also, at this age a pediatric dentist can help you with suggestions about infant oral health care, how to decrease teething discomfort, prevention of dental decay, and help acclimate your child to the dental office. An early start including regular dental check-ups can help them maintain a healthy smile for a lifetime.
