FAQs
When Should Your Child Visit the Dentist?
It’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by the age of one or within six months of their first tooth eruption. Regular dental visits every six months help to monitor oral development and ensure any issues are addressed early. Our team will create a customized care plan to meet your child’s unique dental needs as they grow.
