Question 3

How often should my child see the dentist?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, your child should see the dentist every six months. This may sound like a lot, but frequent visits are essential to the health of your child's developing teeth. Regular visits allow your child's dentist to detect early signs of dental disease and decay.
