Assuming there are no issues (cavities, teeth needing to be removed, issues with gums, etc.)  My Dentist recommends a child’s first dental visit occur when the first tooth appears, or at least by 12 months of age. 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.
