The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) highly recommends that every child should visit a dentist by the age of 1 or within six months of the appearance of their first tooth. Primary teeth for children typically begin to come in around 6 months of age. You may be wondering why you need to bring your child in so early to see the dentist, as soon as your baby starts to have teeth coming in, he or she can get cavities. As well, if you notice anything abnormal in your child’s mouth make an appointment as soon as possible.
