Children should visit the dentist every six months for a regular check-up and cleaning, starting by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting—whichever comes first. Regular visits help: Catch potential issues early (like cavities) Monitor the development of teeth and jaw Build comfort and good dental habits early However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits if your child is at higher risk for dental problems (e.g., weak enamel, early cavities, or orthodontic concerns). If you are looking for a childrens dentist anywhere in Charleston, I highly recommend you Charleston Smiles, the doctor is quiet good in his service and has a staff that knows what they are doing.
