In most cases, dentists recommend that children have their first dental appointment at the age of two, once all of their teeth have come in. Their primary teeth will be with them for about another 10 years before their adult teeth come through, so it is essential for parents to take proper care of their child’s teeth and also teach them the importance of proper oral hygiene, instilling these practices as life-long habits. From this point, parents are recommended to bring their children in for regular teeth cleanings every six months to ensure their children’s teeth and gums are healthy and developing properly. This is especially important because children’s teeth and jaws are constantly growing and developing; these changes require close monitoring by a dental health professional in case a complication arises.
