Kids & Pediatric Dentist in Mansfield, TX — Gentle Care for All Ages

When Should My Child First See a Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends a child's first dental visit by their first birthday — or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow Dr. Le to monitor development, catch issues early, and help children develop a positive, fear-free relationship with dental care that lasts a lifetime.
