Timing matters
When Should Your Child First Visit the Dentist?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit within six months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by their first birthday.
Starting dental care early helps prevent future dental issues and promotes positive experiences with oral healthcare, it's about much more than examining teeth.
Early visits let us
- Monitor oral development and identify concerns early
- Provide preventive care recommendations
- Educate parents on proper oral hygiene
- Help children become familiar with the dental office
- Establish healthy dental habits from an early age
