The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child’s first dental visit should be scheduled:
➡️ By their first birthday 🥳 or
➡️ Within 6 months of their first tooth erupting 🦷 — whichever comes first!
This early visit helps:
• Catch any early signs of tooth decay 👀
• Get personalized tips on brushing, diet, and habits 👍
• Make the dentist a positive experience early on 😄
So if that first little tooth pops through at 6 months, it’s a good idea to plan the first visit by 12 months at the latest!
