One of the most common questions we hear from parents is:
"When should my child have their first dental visit?" 👶🦷
The Canadian Dental Association recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts.
Early dental visits are about much more than checking teeth. They give your dental team the opportunity to:
🦷 Monitor healthy tooth and jaw development
🪥 Provide guidance on brushing and oral hygiene
🍼 Discuss feeding habits, fluoride, and oral health
😊 Help your child become familiar and comfortable with the dental office in a positive, stress-free environment
Starting dental visits early can help establish healthy habits and support your child's oral health as they grow.
If your little one is approaching their first birthday—or already has their first tooth—it's a great time to schedule their first visit.
