According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Robert L. Dennis, DDS and Dr. Eric Dennis recommend that infants have their first dental visit between six months and one year of age. Studies have shown that early dental check-ups can greatly reduce the likelihood of needing more complex dental treatments later on.

At this first appointment, the dentist will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your baby's oral health. You'll also receive guidance on age-appropriate oral hygiene practices, healthy nutrition, and the impact of habits like pacifier use. These early visits are essential for laying the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
