Short answer: A child's first dental visit should build confidence while helping parents understand brushing, diet and early prevention.

When to book

Children should usually see a dentist when teeth appear or by around their first birthday, then follow individual advice.

How to prepare

Avoid promises that nothing will happen. Instead, explain that the dentist will count teeth and help keep them strong.

What the dentist checks

The visit may include tooth eruption, brushing, diet, habits, fluoride advice and any areas that need monitoring.
