Dental professional in Illinois here 👩🏼‍⚕️
We recommend babies come in when their first teeth poke through. We wipe them down, educate parents and apply fluoride. These appts really help get your child use to us laying them back and being in their mouth. This way when they are older they visit the dentist like champs. Parents also benefit from the education which can help prevent the #1 childhood disease CAVITIES! This will prevent a lot of heart ache in the future.

We took our daughter a little after a year. It was just for fun. Then again 6 months later for fun but tried to look in her mouth. Then at 2.5 she let them do a cleaning and floss her entire mouth, no complaints. Her having fun and getting stickers a couple times before really helped!

My son is 17 months and we just took him last week. He had quite a few teeth and turns out he had an extra tooth. Everybody says something different about what age. Do what you think is best for you child!

Answer

The American academy of pediatric dentistry and the American academy of pediatrics recommend that children be seen within 6 months of the first tooth erupting or by the age of 1. Starting that young is important from a preventive standpoint. Dental caries (cavities) are the most common disease of childhood and are almost entirely preventable, so education and guidance are important and can make a huge difference in your child’s lifelong dental health. It’s also important to establish care early so that you have a resource in case of an emergency.
