The general rule is that children should see a dentist for the first time six months
after eruption of the first tooth and no later than one year old. Taking your child to
the dentist at a young age is a great way to give your child a healthy start on a
lifetime of good oral hygiene habits.
Like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months. Some dentists may
schedule visits for every three months when your child is very young in order to
build a comfort level or to treat any developing problems.
