What are the most common mouth sores and how should they be treated? Q: When should we bring our child in for a first dental visit?
As early as six months, usually for a visual exam and to learn how to clean your child’s teeth. The American Dental Association recommends scheduling a visit to the dentist within six months of the first tooth coming out, and no later than the child’s first birthday. Beginning positive dental health care practices early in a child’s life supports their level of comfort with the dentist in the future.
