When Should You Schedule Your Child's First Dental Appointment?
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), you should schedule your little one's first dental visit when the first tooth emerges and no later than their first birthday. From that point on, most children require twice-a-year dental exams and cleanings to maintain healthy smiles.
But why start so young? Caring for your child's baby teeth from the start provides lifelong benefits. Those tiny pearly whites maintain the space needed for the adult teeth to come into the correct position. They also play a role in speech development and help your child chew with ease. If a child loses a tooth too early, the adjacent teeth may shift out of alignment, resulting in crooked teeth, a crowded mouth, and problems with the bite. That usually results in the need for orthodontic treatments down the road.
Healthy Habits for Long-Term Healthy Smiles
Encourage your child to brush and floss regularly to keep tooth decay and cavities at bay. Keep in mind that consuming a healthy, balanced diet will provide your child's growing teeth with the nutrition they need to stay strong and healthy. Establishing a proper oral hygiene routine from a young age will set the stage for lifelong oral health.
