First Tooth, First Birthday: Why Early Dental Visits Matter

At Alpine Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that a lifetime of healthy smiles starts with early dental care. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by the time their first tooth appears or by their first birthday—whichever comes first. While this may seem early, this milestone plays a critical role in setting the foundation for your child’s oral health.
