At What Age Should My Child First Child Visit The Dentist?

It is highly recommended by the professionals at Dr. Marvin Tong DDS that your child have their first dental visit at 12 months, or within 6 months of the first tooth coming in. Preventative care at an early age is an essential step in maintaining good oral hygiene.

How Often Should My Child Visit a Pediatric Dentist?

How often children should visit the dentist typically depends on their age and the state of their teeth. On average, we recommend that children visit the dentist at least once every six months (so two times a year).

Some signs that your child needs to visit the dentist include the following:

• Your child is experiencing tooth or gum pain
• Your child's teeth feel sensitive when they eat or drink (such as with hot or cold drinks)
• Your child's gums are bleeding
• Your child's teeth are discolored or look stained
• Your child constantly has poor breath
• Your child's adult teeth feel loose

If your child is experiencing any of the symptoms above, it's important that schedule a dentist appointment for them as soon as possible. Leaving any of these symptoms unnoticed can lead to further damage that can be avoided with a timely check-up.
