When Should My Child First See The Dentist?
By one-year-old, your child should have or at least be scheduled for his/her’s first dentist appointment. Childhood oral health care impacts the appearance and functionality of the teeth, jaw, and speech in adulthood. Misalignment, which leads to a plethora of dental health issues, can easily start at a young age. Thumbsucking, pacifier use, and bottle and sippy cup usage are oral issues that can impact the growth of both baby and permanent teeth.
