📅 When Should Your Child Visit the Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early dental visits help:

Detect and prevent problems before they become serious
Get your child familiar with the dental environment
Establish a “dental home” for consistent care

Regular dental visits every six months are recommended for most children unless otherwise advised by your dentist.

🦷 Common Dental Issues in Children

Tooth decay (cavities): The most common chronic disease in children, caused by sugary foods and poor oral hygiene
Thumb sucking: Can affect teeth alignment and bite if prolonged
Dental trauma: Injuries from falls or sports can require immediate attention
Early tooth loss: Premature loss of baby teeth can impact speech and alignment of permanent teeth

Our pediatric dental care aims to prevent and treat these issues promptly.
