Dental Visits
Children should have their first dental visit by age 1.
-
Schedule a dental visit around the time of your child’s first birthday.
-
The health provider will identify any dental problems and will talk to you about how to prevent cavities for your child. This is also a great time for you to ask questions about any other concerns you may have.
-
Early visits get your child familiar and comfortable with having their mouth examined.
-
Ask your health provider about fluoride varnish for your baby’s teeth. Fluoride varnish helps prevent cavities.
