When should I take my child to see a paediatric dentist for the first check up?
The Australasian Academy of Paediatric dentistry recommends that children have their first dental check up at around 12 months of age. So that an assessment can be made of your child’s dental health. This visit also gives the paediatric dentist an opportunity to discuss all aspects of preventive dentistry including importance of good oral hygiene, diet and correct brushing/ flossing techniques.
