Children usually begin to get their first teeth within the first year of their life, and when those teeth start to pop through it is a good idea to begin regular visits to one of our pediatric dentists in Carlsbad. At Carlsbad Children’s Dentistry, we have a staff of dentists and dental assistants who are trained to work with children, and they understand the importance of helping your child develop good dental habits at a young age.

In fact, it is a good idea to have the child attend their first dental appointment before they can even talk. Most pediatric dentists in Carlsbad suggest that the first appointment should be made within 6 months of the time when their first tooth is visible, or around the time of their first birthday.

When you take your child for an appointment, it beneficial because the dentist will be able to check for proper development in the jaw and gums. Also, they will be able to monitor how the teeth are growing in, so that they can determine if orthodontic work is needed in order to be sure there is enough space in their mouth for all of the permanent teeth.
