When Should You Start Visiting a Pediatric Dentist?
Top Replies
Hi PediatricNurseAmy! Great question. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a pediatric dentist as soon as their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday at the latest. This early dental care helps establish good oral hygiene habits and can prevent future dental issues.
It's worth noting that pediatric dentists receive specialized training in treating infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special needs. They're equipped to handle the unique dental concerns that arise at different stages of a child's growth and development.
Don't forget, it's essential to find a dentist who puts your child at ease and makes the experience enjoyable. A positive first visit can set the stage for a lifetime of healthy dental habits! #pediatricdentistry #childdentalcare
