So have you ever been curious on when your child should see the dentist for the first
time? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I am here to
tell you on when is a good time for your child to see the dentist. There is a lot of theories
out there as far as when your baby gets its first tooth you should take them to the dentist.
Sometimes those types of theories you can if you want but normally the average age for
the child to see the dentist is around the age of three. By this time your child should
have all of their baby teeth or they should start to be fully coming in and at that time
you would just take them to the general dentist. You might want to kind of consult with your
general dentist and tell them you just want to set up what we call like a happy visit
for the child. Therefore you can kind of get them acquainted with the dental office, with
the instruments that they have, all the little suctions, so therefore they are not too apprehensive
about going to the dentist the older that they get. So when you start them at a younger
age it is a lot easier for them to proceed and be more susceptible to going to the dentist
as they get older. So definitely around the age of three years old is when you want to
take your child so therefore you can kind of count the baby teeth and make sure everything
is coming into place correctly and there is no dysfunction with the teeth. Once again
my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you
on when your child should see the dentist for the first time.
