When should baby start seeing the dentist?

Hi, I think it depends on the parents. A child should brush teeth as soon as he/she has teeth. For my child, she visited a dentist when she was 2 yo. The idea is for her to get used to visit a dentist and not be afraid of the dentist who is examining her teeth. Some parents bring their children as young as 1 yo so it really depends on the parents.

Ideally, baby should have her first visit to the dentist by her 1st birthday, but it is also generally okay to wait until he or she is 2 or 3. Avoiding it off any longer than that would increase your child's risk for plaque build-up or cavities.
