What is the right age to start visiting the dentist?
Children should have their first dental examination when they reach the age of one. This is to get familiar with their dentist, dental office environment and various dental procedures. During these visits, the dentist will take a look at any growing teeth, and make sure the gums are healthy and not inflamed. Appointments may include a gentle cleaning and parental instruction on how to care for their children’s teeth.
The dentist will also give guidelines on nutritional intake. Additionally, your dentist will recommend how frequent the subsequent follow-up visits will be. This woul ddepend on the child’s dental condition and his or her reaction to the initial visit. However, regular checkups is usually scheduled at six-month intervals.

Preparing Your Child for the Dentist
Every parent wants to make their child’s first visit to the dentist a pleasant one. The best way to do this is to role-play; you can be the dentist, and your child can play the patient. What you do will depend upon what you anticipate the dentist will need to do. However, you should make it fun and exciting for them. Further, you should explain to your child the benefits of going to the dentist, emphasising on the positive aspects of oral hygiene as well as the value of a healthy smile.
Before you head off for your first dental appointment, make sure to carry your child’s favourite toy or blanket. This can provide a touch of familiarity and a lot of comfort to a young child in a new situation. Additionally, most pediatric dental offices have toys, and the décor is kid-friendly. So your child will most likely connect with the Dentist and have a pleasant time.
