Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday, or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early dental visits help ensure proper oral development, detect potential issues early, and establish a lifetime of good dental habits.

Yes, electric toothbrushes can be more effective than manual ones. They:

• Remove more plaque

• Are easier to use for young children

• Often include timers for proper brushing time
  They can make brushing more fun and consistent, especially for kids who are less motivated.

You can prevent cavities by:

• Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

• Limiting sugary snacks and drinks

• Ensuring regular dental checkups

• Teaching proper brushing and flossing habits early
  Fluoride treatments and sealants may also be recommended by your dentist.

Fear is common and manageable. Here’s what helps:

• Talk positively about the dentist — avoid using scary words.

• Visit a pediatric dentist trained in child-friendly care.

• Bring them in for fun "happy visits" before any treatment.

• Use books or videos that explain dental visits playfully.
