What age should my kids first checkup be?
Your little ones first dental checkup should be at the age of 12 months old or when their first tooth comes through.
Having a dental checkup at young age means that information on how to care for your little ones teeth and mouth can be shared with you. We can detect tooth decay early and hopefully stop the progression and preferably preventing tooth decay all together.
