Your Child's First Dental Visit
According to the American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry (AAPD), your child should visit the dentist by his/her 1st
birthday. You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Your child
should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all
procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that
might cause unnecessary fear, such as needle, pull, drill or hurt. Pediatric dental
offices make a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and
non-frightening to the child.
