Parents take note. Your child’s first visit to the dentist should happen when they turn one or when their first tooth sprouts. Some think baby teeth don’t matter since they are temporary, but that’s a myth. A baby’s first set of teeth is the root of a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Seeing good kids’ dentists at family-friendly dental clinics every six months from a young age has many benefits. They can help your child develop good oral hygiene habits early and nip potential problems in the bud.
