A member asked:

She is old enough.: Now is the time for her first dental visit. Find a dentist that you are comfortable with and sees many children. This can be a pedodontist or a general dentist that likes kids.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: American dental association & american society of pediatric dentists recommend 1st dental check-up age 1. Please take your child for examination asap. Permanent teeth started forming before your child was born. Small problem now can be serious problem later. Please schedule exam, x-rays, hygiene instruction, diet evaluation, Fluoride evaluation, growth & development evaluation, etc.
