Yes. It’s important for children to get an early start on dental care so they learn that visiting the dentist is a regular part of general health care. These visits also allow your child to develop a sense of comfort and confidence at the dentist’s office. It’s important to make the first visit to the dental office a positive experience for your child, which is just one reason why it’s best to visit the dental office early, before a problem develops.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends that you have a discussion with your dentist when your child turns one year old to determine the best time for your child to visit.
