According to the American Dental Association, you should begin scheduling biannual dental appointments for your child approximately six months after their first tooth erupts. Regular visits allow our dentist to monitor your child’s oral health and prevent or correct developing issues. If your child experiences any dental problems (such as cavities, crooked teeth or an oral disease), Dr. Richard Koeltl may recommend more frequent visits. Even if your child has healthy teeth, they should see a dentist regularly to become accustomed to the dental office and learn healthy oral habits. You are welcome to contact our office to schedule your child’s next checkup.
