Why Early Dental Care Matters
Your child’s primary (baby) teeth play a crucial role in speech development, proper chewing, and guiding permanent teeth into place. Starting dental visits early helps prevent cavities, establish healthy habits, and create a positive experience with dentistry that lasts a lifetime.
💡 The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts.
