Children & family dentistry in Truro

When should my child visit the dentist?

We are passionate about protecting young smiles from their very first tooth. Your child will usually start to get their milk teeth at around six months old. We recommend that you schedule your child’s first dental examination as soon as they get their first tooth.

Following this, we recommend scheduling appointments between every three and twelve months. This will also let them get used to the noises, smells and surroundings and prepare them for future visits. The earlier these visits start, the more relaxed the children will be. Plaque can start to form on young teeth as soon as they emerge, and it’s important to implement a good oral health routine early – starting with that first tooth.
