Moreover the child’s first dental appointment is also a great opportunity for parents to get valuable advice about cleaning and caring for the child’s first teeth. Sometimes parents find it difficult to persuade their kids to take part in daily brushing, so your family dentist can dive teeth cleaning tips for toddlers that might help. Positive early experience of the dentist visit can help to create a positive association in the child’s mind, so the future dental checkups won’t be a source of fear.
