Dental Tips Series #9: When to Bring Your Child to the Dentist

At North Creek Dental Care, we often hear parents ask, “When should I schedule my child’s first dental appointment?” This video does a wonderful job explaining why early visits are key to building a lifetime of healthy smiles.

What the Video Covers

The video lays out these essentials in just a few moments:

✅ Why timing matters: Catch small issues like early cavities or developmental concerns before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.
✅ How to prevent dental anxiety: Routine visits help children grow comfortable in the dentist’s chair, making dental care a positive part of life.
✅ What the experts say: Most dental associations recommend scheduling that first appointment around the time the first tooth erupts — usually by age one.
