It’s never too soon to bring your child to the dentist for that first visit, and we generally recommend that parents bring their children to see us as soon as their first tooth erupts, or around the age of one. This may seem early, but it's important to establish good dental habits from a young age.
At the first appointment, the dentist will check for any signs of tooth decay or other problems, or they may not even look at your child’s mouth, depending on their age and how confident they’re feeling. At this early age, trips to the dentist are more about introducing your child to a dentist in Peterborough who they can see for regular check-ups, without feeling nervous.
