The recommended first visit is usually about six months after the first tooth springs out or by their first birthday. Parents can anticipate this to be their child’s short and sweet happy visit and your one-year-old will not be undergoing any dental treatment. Consider your child’s first dental visit to be more precautionary and beneficial for your child to build trust with the dentist at an early age. Your toddler may be anxious or curious when they come in for the first time and it sets a great environment to forge a relationship. At Groot dental, we offer personalized care for kids, keeping in mind that their first dental visit could be overwhelming and therefore we allow the parents to accompany them. It is important for kids to start visiting the dentist at an early age to prevent tooth problems and cavities in the future.
We also believe in cultivating a healthy relationship with the parents keeping in mind that there might be situations down the road when stressful and financially taxing decisions need to be made. Keeping records of the child’s oral health for most of their lives opens healthy lines of communication and trust that benefits everyone.
Many parents skip their kids initial visit assuming that their kids baby teeth are bound to fall out. Your child’s first teeth are tied to the chewing and ingestion of food and nutrition. The milk teeth also aid in proper speech development and in the development and spacing of permanent teeth.
