Frequently Asked Questions
Your child should visit the pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears in his/her mouth and no later than the first birthday of the child. This will help prevent early childhood tooth decay as well as educate parents about proper teeth brushing and dietary habits of their child that may promote positive oral health.
