"The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics say that every child should visit a dentist by age 1 – or as soon as the first tooth appears. This “well baby visit” teaches parents and caregivers how to care for their children’s teeth and help them remain cavity-free. Good oral hygiene and oral care practices are important lessons to teach your children, especially since recent studies have discovered that poor oral hygiene is the main factor causing some medical conditions. Young children and infants in the Denver-Aurora Metro, therefore, should be brought to an established pediatric dentist in Denver before their first birthday or within months of the eruption of the first tooth, as the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend."

A Pediatric Dentist in Denver: Providing Early Dental Health Care
Raising a baby is a source of happiness for many moms, but it certainly isn't easy for first-timers. With so many things to do besides frequent diaper changing, a baby's dental health may be all too easy to overlook. This is true even after the baby's teeth start to become visible, which should be the cue for parents to make that first dental visit. Unfortunately, a number of parents in the US, even in major urban centers such as Denver, the capital and largest city of Colorado (CO), do not know when they should schedule their kids' first dental appointment. The right time to make that first visit to a pediatric dentist in Denver or wherever you reside is always during the eruption of the first tooth, between the ages of 3 and 9 months. In fact, it should not be later than the age of one, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) based on an article by Pat Etheridge on CNN.com.
