Children should have their first dental visit as soon as their first tooth erupts. That may seem quite early, but there are several good reasons for it.  First of all, it’s an excellent way to get your child comfortable with going to the dentist. Early dental visits can help your child develop the habit of going every six months rather than only when they think they need it. Second, it allows the dentist to examine your child’s teeth and gums, diagnose any problems early and prevent them from becoming more serious. Lastly, since the parents play the most significant role in taking care of their child’s dental health at a very young age, the dentist will also discuss with you how to take good care of your child’s teeth at home, including how to brush their teeth, what to use as well as proper diet.
By taking your child for their first dental visit at an early age, you can prevent cavities and other problems in the future.
