When should I schedule my child's first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit within six months of the first tooth erupting, or by the child's first birthday.

What happens during a 'well-baby' dental visit?

The first visit is usually short and informal. The pediatric dentist will examine your child's mouth, check for decay, assess jaw development, and provide you with crucial guidance on oral hygiene, teething, and diet.

How can I prepare my child for their first visit?

Talk about the visit in a positive, cheerful way. Read books or watch videos about going to the dentist. Avoid using words like 'hurt' or 'pain.' The goal is to create a sense of curiosity and fun.
