When should I start taking my child to the dentist?

Paediatric dentists are focused on preventing dental disease in children and this can only be achieved by seeing your child early. The paediatric dentist assesses your child’s general health and development, the teeth that have erupted, the current diet and oral hygiene practices. Any modifications that are necessary to improve your child’s oral health will then be given to you. Your dentist will advise you how often your child will need to be followed up.
