First Dental Visit<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

According to The American academy of pediatric dentistry , children should have their 1<\/span>st<\/span> dental visit just after their 1<\/span>st<\/span> birthday or once their 1<\/span>st<\/span> tooth pop in. Although some parents might see this as too early for \u00a0a dental visit, there are many important reasons for such an early timing,<\/span><\/p>\n

The 1<\/span>st<\/span> and most important reason is that the pediatric dentist will be able to monitor the health of your child\u2019s new teeth as they pop in, because believe it or not but as soon as the child\u2019s 1<\/span>st<\/span> tooth appears \u00a0he can develop cavities .<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes ! this can happen really early and faster that you can imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from teeth decay, the pediatric dentist will also check your child\u2019s gums and bite to ensure the overall \u00a0development of your child is on track and give you answers for any questions that you might have on your mind regarding your child\u2019s teeth health and dental hygiene routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another advantage of this early dental visit is giving your child an opportunity to meet his dentist in a friendly , non-threatening \u00a0way and familiarizing him with the dental office which helps calming your child before his dental exam.<\/span><\/p>\n
