Why so early? As soon as you have teeth, you can get cavities. Being proactive about your children&#8217;s dental health today will help keep them healthy for life (need a dentist? Use our Find-A-Dentist tool to find one close by).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What To Expect During the Visit\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dentist will examine your child to make sure their jaw and teeth are developing in the way they should. During the visit, you will be seated in a dental chair with your child on your lap if he or she is unable to\u2014or does not want to\u2014sit in the chair alone. The dentist will check for mouth injuries, cavities or other issues before giving you tips for daily care afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tips For A Great First Visit\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t schedule an appointment during naptime.
