Bring your kids to the dentist when their first tooth comes in. Yes, that early. That’s what’s recommended.

We started scheduling appointments the moment that first little tooth popped through. Because we believe in preventative care. We believe in good habits from the start.

I don’t care if they’re “just baby teeth.” I’ve heard that excuse too many times.
Those baby teeth? They hold space for permanent ones. They affect speech, jaw development, confidence.

So no, it’s not “too early.”
It’s responsible. It’s intentional.
It’s the opposite of what so many of us grew up with.

Don’t be the parent who shrugs it off, who waits until there’s pain, infection, trauma.
Be the cycle breaker.
The one who teaches dental care isn’t a luxury, it’s basic hygiene.

Because some of us are now spending our adulthood in pain, paying the price for what our parents ignored.

You can do better. Your kids deserve better.

A child’s dental journey begins the moment their first tooth appears, usually around six months of age. At this stage, many parents may think cavities are a concern only for older children, but even one small tooth is vulnerable to decay. The mouth naturally harbors bacteria, and when sugars from milk or food interact with these bacteria, acids form and can damage the enamel. Early decay in baby teeth can progress quickly, causing pain, infection, and even affecting the permanent teeth developing beneath.

Introducing dental care from the very beginning is one of the best gifts you can give your child. Gently cleaning the gums before teeth erupt helps your baby get used to oral hygiene. Once the first tooth appears, using a soft baby toothbrush with a smear of fluoride toothpaste not only cleans but also strengthens the enamel. Avoiding bedtime bottles with milk or juice reduces prolonged sugar exposure during sleep, when saliva flow is low and teeth are most at risk.

The early years set the stage for a lifetime of oral health. Baby teeth may be temporary, but they hold space for adult teeth, guide proper jaw growth, and play a vital role in speech and nutrition. Scheduling a dental visit by the first birthday ensures professional guidance, early detection of any problems, and helps the child become comfortable in the dental environment from the start. Investing in those first teeth is truly investing in the future smile.

The best place for a proper consultation is still the clinic, face to face. So when a doctor takes time to reply to you outside of that, be grateful—it’s a sign that they truly care.
