First dental visit

Lots of questions have been coming in lately as to when the best time to bring your child in for their first dental visit.

It is important for your child to see a dental hygienist or other oral health professional at around one year of age or within six months of getting their first tooth.

Some ways to prepare for their first appointment include:

• Having them open while you practice counting their teeth
• Read books about dental visits
• Watch videos of dental visits to prepare them about what an oral health professional is
• Avoid talking about any negative experiences you may have had in the past

We look forward to welcoming your smiles soon!
