Why your child needs to see a dentist even if they aren’t complaining of pain

You may be wondering, when should I start taking my child to the best dentist, and should I even bother taking them if they aren’t complaining of pain and only have a few baby teeth. The answer is YES, the best time to introduce your child to the dentist and to start preventative dental care is at age 1. The health of a child’s baby teeth is as important as the health of their adult or permanent teeth. The benefit to early dental evaluations is two fold, problems that may develop are identified and remediated early, preventing more traumatic and invasive interventions later, and a child learns to have positive and pleasant experiences with a dentist avoiding and avoid any future fear or apprehension of dental care. So don’t forget your little one’s teeth when you schedule your next dentist appointment
