At what age should I start taking my child to see the dentist?

We at Lakeshore Dental recommend that you bring your child in for their first check up at about 2–3 years of age. At this appointment they can sit in the chair and we can count their teeth, check for cavities, and answer any questions you may have. This allows them to get comfortable with the practice before their first hygiene appointment. We also highly recommend bringing your child along to your own dental appointments. They can sit in the little chairs we have for them and watch mom or dad get their teeth cleaned.
