When Should My Child First See a Dentist?
Many parents are unsure when to bring their child to the dentist for the first time. The answer is: sooner than you might think.
Many parents are unsure when to bring their child to the dentist for the first time. The answer is: sooner than you might think. Current guidelines recommend that children should be seen by a dentist as soon as their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday at the latest.
Early dental visits are about much more than checking for cavities. They allow our team to monitor your child's dental development, identify any potential issues early, and — crucially — to help your child build a positive relationship with the dentist before any treatment is needed. Children who visit from an early age are far less likely to develop dental anxiety later in life.
At Family Dental Clinic we love seeing children and work hard to make every visit a fun, stress-free experience. We have a welcoming waiting room with a play area, and our team is experienced in putting nervous young patients at ease. Call 01243 771171 to book your child's first appointment.
