Paediatric dentists recommend that the first dental visit takes place when the first tooth comes through and, at the latest, around the child's first birthday.<\/strong> There's no need to wait for a problem: the aim of this first visit is prevention, teaching good habits and helping your child get used to the clinic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

The Recommended Age for the First Visit<\/h2>\n

Many families wait until age 3 or 4, or until their child complains about something. However, decay can appear very early, especially baby bottle tooth decay, and in its early stages it doesn't hurt.<\/p>\n

An early check-up means spots or early decay can be caught in time, the development of the mouth can be checked, and parents' questions about brushing, dummies or feeding can be answered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
