Many parents wonder when to bring their child for the first dental checkup. The answer might surprise you!

Recommended Age

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth erupting.

Why So Early?

1. **Early Detection**: Catch problems before they become serious
2. **Habit Formation**: Build positive associations with dental visits
3. **Preventive Care**: Fluoride treatments and sealants protect baby teeth
4. **Parental Education**: Learn proper brushing techniques
