Babies' first teeth usually begin to appear between 6 and 10 months of age. This period also marks the start of their first dentist visit. So, when should the first dental checkup be scheduled? Experts recommend a checkup after the first tooth emerges or before the baby turns one.

Why Are Dental Checkups Necessary at an Early Age?

Many parents neglect early dental checkups, thinking their baby teeth will fall out. However, this is a misconception. Baby teeth play a critical role in both their child's nutrition and the proper placement of their permanent teeth. Furthermore, early checkups help:

• Early detection of tooth decay.
• Instilling dental hygiene habits at an early age.
• Fear of the dentist is prevented.
