Frequently Asked Questions

What age should my child have their first dental visit?

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, it’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by the age of one or within six months of their first tooth coming in—whichever comes first. Starting dental visits early helps establish good oral hygiene habits from a young age and allows Dr. Chen to monitor your child’s dental development.

The Importance of Early Childhood Dental Visits

Early visits are important for several reasons. First, they allow us to detect any potential issues early, such as tooth decay, misalignment, or developmental concerns. Catching these problems early can help prevent more serious complications down the road. Second, early dental visits help your child get comfortable with the dentist and the dental office environment. Creating a positive experience early on can help reduce anxiety and make future visits easier for you and your child.
