Your child's first visit to the dentist should be before his or her first birthday. The general rule is six months after the first tooth breaks out. Taking your child to the dentist when you are young is the best way to prevent problems such as tooth decay and helps parents learn how to clean their teeth and determine their fluoride needs. After all, decay occurs as soon as the tooth appears. Getting an early child to a dentist often leads to life-long oral care habits and adapting your child to a dental clinic, reducing anxiety and fear, which will put enough pressure on the future.
