What age should I start bringing my child/children to the dentist?

Toddlers should have all their baby teeth by two years of age.   At this time it is appropriate to schedule an appointment with your dentist so that he or she can evaluate the child’s dentition for any abnormalities or cavities.  Cavities in baby teeth can have irreversible negative effects on the underlying adult teeth and must be treated as soon as possible.  Seeing the dentist at a young age also alleviates anxiety and fear for a child and allows for easier and calmer dental visits for the remainder of their lifetime.
