¿A qué edad deben comenzar los chequeos dentales?

Wait, I’ve heard that some parents wait until their child is older, like 3 or 4, but that might be too late. Early checkups can prevent problems like tooth decay. Also, it’s about getting the child used to the dentist so they don’t develop a fear.

I should also consider if there are any signs that a child needs to go earlier than the first tooth. Maybe if there are discolorations or if the teeth are coming in crooked. But generally, the first tooth is the starting point.

So, putting it all together, the answer is that dental checkups should start when the first tooth appears or by the first birthday. This ensures early detection of any issues and helps in teaching good oral hygiene habits from the beginning.
