The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) says children should visit a pediatric dentist for an initial dental check-up once their first tooth emerges, or no later than the child’s first birthday. While there may not be a mouthful of teeth for a dentist to clean at this point, getting a head start on dental care can expose oral health problems in an early stage when they’re easier to treat and help prevent issues down the road.
