Ask Dr. Young and Dr. Higham: When do I need to start taking my child to the dentist?

Many parents wonder when they should start taking their children to the dentist. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that parents establish a dental home for their children 6 months after their first tooth erupts or by their first year of age. Dr. Young and Dr. Higham will show you how to keep your children’s teeth healthy and significantly reduce the risk of early childhood cavities. If your child is older than one year, it is time to see the dentist!
