When should the first visit happen? How do we keep it fear-free? Practical advice for parents.
The first dental visit is recommended by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. The visit is gentle, short, and focused on familiarising your child with the environment — not on procedures. We use a show-tell-do approach to build trust from day one.
