When should your child have their first dental checkup?

Many parent magazines and pediatricians recommend that a child have their first dental checkup when they get their first tooth. 
In most cases we believe that 2 1/2 - 3 years of age is early enough for that first visit unless you have reasons for concern, like a discolored tooth.
We recommend bringing the child along to a visit with a parent or an older sibling allowing them to get familiar with the environment before being scheduled for their very own visit.
Our hygiene staff is dedicated to providing a comfortable and fun learning environment to teach their young  patients about good dental habits!
