Child's first dental visit

Child's first dental visit should be after the first tooth erupts and before the first birthday, whatever comes first.

Tooth decay may appear just after the eruption of the first tooth and unfortunately, the average age for a child’s first dentist visit ranges from three to five. Just so you know, the average child has three decayed teeth by the age of 3.

For the first dental visit you should go to the very patient and experienced dentist who often works with children or go to the childrens dentist (pedodontist ) because they have 2 to 3 years of specialty training following dental school.
