When Should Your Child First Visit the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the ADA recommend that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears.
Why Early Dental Visits Matter:
- Prevent Early Childhood Cavities: Baby teeth have thinner enamel than permanent teeth and can develop decay quickly from milk, juice, and snacks.
- Guide Proper Jaw & Speech Development: Baby teeth hold the necessary space in the jawbone for adult teeth to erupt in proper alignment.
- Create Positive Dental Associations: Early preventive checkups eliminate fear and make routine cleanings a normal, happy routine.

Oral Health Tips for Parents
- Infant Gum Care: Before teeth emerge, gently wipe your baby’s gums with a soft, damp washcloth after feedings to remove bacteria.
- First Brushing: As soon as the first tooth appears, brush twice daily using a soft-bristled baby toothbrush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste (the size of a grain of rice).
- Avoid Bedtime Bottles with Juice/Milk: Sugars sitting on teeth overnight are the leading cause of “baby bottle tooth decay.” Offer only water at bedtime.
- Flossing Routine: Begin flossing gently between your child’s teeth as soon as any two teeth touch.
