By first birthday: Infants should start seeing a pediatric dentist within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. These early visits allow parents to get an important start on preventive dental care that will yield a lifetime of good dental health. They also allow the dentist to make sure everything is healthy and to catch and treat any problems before they get a chance to become more involved.

Age 1: Dr Schneider is absolutely correct. And best to see Pediatric Dental Specialist, a Pedodontist, to asses dento-facial growth & development, fluoride levels, sealants, teething support, diet, pediatric oral hygiene, and so much more. Enjoy you child.

Peds Dental Visits: Good day; Unless unusual oral pathology is seen. Fracture, swelling,or possibly aggressive caries - 3 years of age is most recommended time for initial visit to dentist.
