When Should my child see the dentist for the first time?
The answer may surprise you! The American Association of Pediatric Dentists recommends that kids see a dentist whenever their first tooth emerges, or when they turn one year old. This may sound early, but routine dental care from a young age has a lot of benefits.
First, it familiarizes your child with the process of seeing the dentist, minimizing anxiety as they grow and continue to see the dentist. Your child will learn more about the importance of dental care, too, and develop great oral hygiene habits that will stick with them for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Morad will also be able to learn more about your child’s oral health and development, answer your questions about dental care as your child grows older, and develop a real relationship with you and your family.
