When Do Babies Go to the Dentist for the First Time?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that babies see a dentist within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. This may seem early, but it's important to establish a dental home for your child as soon as possible. Even though babies don't have all their teeth yet, the dentist can check for any potential problems and provide guidance on oral hygiene.
