Dental professionals recommend that you schedule your kid’s first dental visit at the appearance of the first tooth or around his or her first birthday, and every six months after that. During your visits, here is what to expect:

- Treatment: For any dental issue diagnosed, the dentist will offer treatment, including repair of dental injuries, pulp therapy, and oral trauma treatment.
