Here are some of the reasons why it is important to get your child to a dentist:

1. Prevention of oral issues

Taking a child to the dentist early is the first step towards keeping tooth decay away. Your dentist will evaluate the signs of decay, and they can do preventative treatments like cleanings and applying dental sealants.

Keeping primary teeth healthy is extremely important despite the fact that they are temporary teeth. They serve a very important purpose when it comes to speech development, and they guide the permanent teeth when it is time for them to erupt. Losing a milk tooth early can end up causing bite issues.

2. Development of the mouth is monitored

Taking a child to the dentist early gives them a chance to monitor the development of the child's teeth and jaw. The dentist might notice signs of a potential malocclusion and perform treatments to fix it before it even becomes an issue.

3. Provides support for the parent

Parents get educated on how to properly take care of their child's teeth during dental visits. The parent will learn about proper brushing, flossing and nutrition that facilitates good oral health. The dentist can also educate the parent about how to address issues that can affect the development of the child's teeth like thumb sucking.

4. The child gets used to the process

Taking a child to a dentist early on gives them a chance to familiarize themselves.People with dental anxiety tend to deal with serious dental issues during their lives, since they are likely to put off getting treatment until pain forces them to see a dentist.

Give your child an early start
Taking care of a child's teeth sets them up for a life with limited dental issues. It familiarizes them with the concept of dental visits being a positive thing that is necessary to keep teeth healthy. If your child's first tooth has emerged, it is time for their first dental visit.
