When should I schedule my child’s first visit to the dentist?

Dental Care for Children recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in.

How is a pediatric dentist different from a general dentist?

Pediatric dentists have additional years of training focused on children’s oral health, development, and behavior management to help make each visit positive and child-friendly.
