How early should I take my child to the dentist?

It's generally recommended to schedule your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. 

This early visit allows the dentist to check for any early signs of tooth decay, monitor oral development, and provide guidance on oral hygiene practices. 

Additionally, it helps acclimate your child to the dental office environment and builds a positive relationship with the dentist from an early age.

Regular dental visits every six months are typically recommended thereafter for ongoing preventive care and monitoring of your child's oral health.

If further care is needed, your general dentist may refer your child to a pediatric dentist.
