Dentistry is incredibly important for people of all ages, but it is especially crucial for children, toddlers and infants. It is recommended that kids first start going to the dentist when their first tooth comes in, however, it’s not uncommon for most parents to bring their kids to the dentist for the first time around the child’s second birthday.

Why Is Dentistry So Important for Children?

Children’s dentistry is important for several reasons. Understanding these reasons will encourage you to make it a habit to bring your child to the dentist regularly.

It is recommended that your child visit the dentist at least twice a year for their bi-annual preventative care appointments. These appointments will often involve a cleaning, exam, x-rays and educational advice to help with caring for their teeth. Further appointments may be needed if decay is found or if other procedures are needed. By bringing your child to the dentist regularly, it ensures that they are receiving the care that they need while also implementing the importance of routine dental visits.
