The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish good oral health habits and allow the dentist to monitor development.
Keep it simple and positive. Explain that the dentist will “count and clean their teeth.” Avoid using words that might create fear (like “pain” or “hurt”). Reading children’s books about dental visits or role-playing at home can also help.
The most common issue is tooth decay (cavities), often caused by sugary foods and poor brushing habits. Other concerns include thumb-sucking effects, early tooth loss, and misalignment. Regular check-ups help catch and manage these early.
Children should typically visit the dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits depending on your child’s specific needs.
