First tooth, and no later than the first birthday.
If your child is older and has not visited yet, arrange a check-up now.
Before you go
- Explain simply: “The dentist will look at your teeth.”
- Bring questions, medication details and relevant medical information.
- Tell the clinic about communication, sensory or access needs.
What the appointment may include
The dentist can examine the teeth and gums, discuss everyday care and explain whether treatment or preventive care is needed. What happens depends on your child’s age, comfort and clinical needs.
Leave with a clear next step
Ask what to do at home and when to return. Confirm fees, insurance and who can accompany your child with the clinic before the appointment.
