At what age should my child see the dentist?

Ideally, you should bring your child to the dentist around their first birthday or when their first tooth breaks through the gum. However, some parents and caregivers wait a bit longer, which is fine.

However, if you suspect anything amiss or want guidance through teething and pacifier use, we are happy to help.

Early dental visits consider the following:

  • Oral Development
  • Early Interception
  • General Exam and Monitoring
  • Guidance on at-home care

Eventually, early appointments evolve as your child grows. Before long, they’ll undergo periodic x-rays, teeth cleans, dental sealants and fluoride treatments. The dentist always shares all findings with you and lays out all potential treatment options if warranted.
