The Right Age for Your Child's First Dental Visit
DR

Many parents ask me, "When should I bring my child to see a dentist?" The answer might surprise you — by their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing.
Why so early?
Early visits allow us to:
- Check if the teeth are coming in properly
- Spot early signs of cavities
- Guide parents on healthy brushing habits
- Give tips on diet for healthy teeth
What happens during the first visit?
It's simple, quick, and gentle. We:
- Examine the child's mouth and teeth
- Check for early decay or gum problems
- Teach brushing techniques for toddlers
- Discuss pacifier use, thumb sucking, and diet
Starting dental visits early helps children become comfortable with the dentist, reducing anxiety in the future.
If you're searching for a kids-friendly dentist near me, our team at Dental Conceptz specializes in gentle paediatric care that makes both kids and parents feel at ease.
