Starting off your children with the right dental habits from a young age is essential to maintaining good oral health into adulthood. Children are never too young to come to the dentist. They are not born with fear of the dentist, but they may fear the unknown. Because of this, it is important for your child to build a positive relationship with dentistry from a young age.

HOW EARLY SHOULD CHILDREN START SEEING THE DENTIST?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children visit the dentist by their first birthday. This will ensure that their newly erupted teeth receive proper care from the very beginning.

Our team will work with you and your child to create a calm atmosphere and positive experience regardless of how old your child is.
