We agree with the guidelines of the American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry that recommend children start seeing a dentist around the age of 1 year or within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth, whichever comes first. During these early visits, we provide instruction to help you understand how to care for your child’s oral health. We also make sure your child’s teeth are erupting as they should and get to know your child so they’re comfortable coming to our office.
