Pediatric Dentistry

When should I bring in my child for their first dental appointment?

Primary teeth, also known as ‘baby’ or ‘milk’ teeth, start appearing in the first few months of a child’s life with some children being born with teeth. By two years of age, it is likely that your child will have all of their primary teeth which is why it is important that they are cared for and checked frequently as these teeth are important in maintaining space and function.

We recommend that your child has their first check-up from two years of age. From here, we can get the child comfortable with attending the dentist and make it an enjoyable experience.

We also recommend assessing children’s growth and development at around eight years old with an x-ray to assess the formation and number of teeth and also whether they need early orthodontic treatment.
