When Should the First Dental Visit Be?
Ideally, a child’s first dental visit should happen when the first tooth erupts or by their first birthday. We also encourage expecting mothers to visit for oral hygiene and diet guidance — because prevention can start early.
Cavity Risk & Habits Review
We look at feeding habits, brushing routines,
and any early risk factors — and explain them clearly to parents.
