Helping Your Child Feel Better About the Dentist
Going to the dentist can be scary for kids. The sounds, smells and tools may make them feel nervous. But good Dental Care is important for a healthy smile. Here are some ways to help your child feel calm and safe at the dentist.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says children should visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth comes in. This helps them get used to the dentist office early and can help them be confident at check-ups.
