The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist no later than their first birthday. At KPN dentistry, we see children as young as one year old. Starting your child off early with good dental care can help them have healthy teeth for decades to come. We start off with children, bringing them in for their first dental exam around one year old. We work with them to help them understand the importance of proper brushing, flossing, and how to use mouthwash if they are old enough. We also help them as their mouths change over the years, from baby teeth into adult teeth.
