The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first.

How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?

Talk to your child positively about the visit, read books about going to the dentist, and avoid using negative words like "pain" or "hurt." Pediatric dentists are trained to make the experience fun and stress-free.

What treatments do pediatric dentists provide?
