When should your child first see a dentist? Lily, our LS ToothBuddy, explains the right age, what a gentle first visit looks like, and why baby teeth matter — in under a minute.
Here's What's Going On
The best time for a first visit is around age one, or when the first little tooth appears.
Don't worry, the first visit is short and gentle. Mostly we just count teeth and say hello!
The dentist checks that teeth and gums are growing well, and gives mom and dad helpful tips.
Starting early helps your child feel calm and happy at the dentist, with no fear.
And remember, baby teeth matter, even though they will fall out one day.
