Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday, or within 6 months after their first tooth appears. This early visit helps us check that teeth are developing properly. Our dentist can also give you essential tips for caring for your baby’s teeth. After the first visit, children should see the dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups. These routine visits allow Dr. Canatella to: Catch small problems before they become serious Clean teeth to prevent cavities Apply protective fluoride treatments Track proper tooth and jaw development Some kids may need to visit more often if they are at a higher risk of cavities or have special dental health needs.
