When to See a Pediatric Dentist

Thursday, Aug. 17th 2017 9:45 AM

When should my child see a pediatric dentist?

Children should have their first dental visit with the eruption of the first baby tooth but no later than their first birthday. This is so that an assessment and record can be made of your child’s dental development and risk of getting cavities. This will give the dentist an opportunity to discuss good oral hygiene practices at home, diet, injury prevention and possible need for fluoride supplements. Also if the dentist finds any cavities or other problems, these issues can be taken care of early before they become a bigger problem.
