When should my child visit a dentist for the first time?

Let the first tooth, which will surface between six and twelve months, remind you that it's time to see your pediatric or general dentist. Though this may seem early, 40% of toddlers between two and three have some inflammation of the gums and/or cavities. Be sure to get advice on tooth cleaning, pacifiers, fluoride and preventing tooth injuries for young walkers.
