When should I make my child's first dental appointment?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you bring your child to the dentist for their first visit after the eruption of their first tooth and no later than their first birthday. Your baby's first visit to the dentist is a quick, but very important visit. This visit establishes a "dental home" for your child. A "dental home" is a dental office that you and/or your child are established with and make regular appointments with for routine check ups and cleanings. "
