The first time you hold your child in your arms it is hard to imagine them even getting their first tooth let alone having to prepare for their first dentist visit. Like anything in life however, time marches on and before you know it that sweet one tooth smile will not look as good if you are no longer a baby. As bottle-feeding turns into solid food, it is important to remember that good dental hygiene habits start early. Not only are strong white teeth visually appealing, they are also an indicator of overall health. In between the first tooth sprouting and the inaugural visit from the tooth fairy is an ideal time to get your child into the dentist for the first time.
