At what age should my child have their first dental checkup?

Generally, children should be ready to start their routine dental visits around age three when all of the baby teeth have erupted. Count your child's teeth as your brush them. A full set of baby teeth include ten teeth in each arch. Even prior to a full set of baby teeth or the age of three, we will be glad to look at anything that worries you. If you see unusual brown spots or other worrisome developments on or around the teeth, call us.
