Day 310 - Make a Dentist Appointment for the 1 Year Birthday
Today's first time parenting tip - Make your baby a dentist appointment for around their 1 year birthday
Your infant's first dentist appointment should be somewhere close to their one-year birthday. Your baby may or may not have all his teeth in yet, but the dentist should still check their teeth and gums to make sure they're healthy.
Like your pediatrician, you should be comfortable with your dentist, both in his bedside manner and his professionalism. The first visit will be fairly easy, the dentist will try to get comfortable with your child and check the teeth and gums for signs of bottle decay.
He'll also be able to give you advice on how to care for your infant's teeth, as well as possibly give you fluoride drops, especially if your tap water doesn't have this added already.
After this first visit, you should come back every six months for a cleaning and check up.
