WHEN SHOULD I MAKE MY CHILD’S FIRST APPOINTMENT?
We recommend that children start seeing the dentist when their first teeth appear or by the time they turn one year old.
You are welcome to bring them in earlier if you have any questions or concerns.
Young children generally only need to see the dentist every 6-12 months. We will talk to you about this at your appointment.
