The general guidance from pediatric dental organizations is by the child's first birthday, or within about six months of the first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. This is earlier than many parents expect, and the point isn't extensive treatment at that age — it's establishing a dental home, catching any early issues, and giving parents guidance on things like teething, feeding habits, and early hygiene before problems develop.

A pediatric dentist completes additional training beyond dental school specifically focused on child development, behavior management, and treating the unique needs of infants, children, and teens, including those with special healthcare needs. Their offices are also typically designed around children — smaller equipment, a less clinical atmosphere, and staff experienced in helping anxious or very young patients feel comfortable. Many general dentists also see children well and are a reasonable choice, particularly for older children and teens; the distinction matters more for very young children or those with more involved dental or behavioral needs.

Yes, significantly. Baby teeth hold space for the permanent teeth developing underneath them, and losing one too early — from untreated decay, for example — can let neighboring teeth drift into that space, contributing to crowding or misalignment when the permanent tooth is ready to come in. Baby teeth are also how children learn to chew properly and develop clear speech, and untreated decay in a baby tooth can cause real pain and infection just as it would in a permanent tooth.

Consistent brushing twice a day as soon as the first tooth appears (with an appropriately small amount of fluoride toothpaste, per your dentist's guidance for your child's age), limiting frequent exposure to sugary foods and drinks — including juice and snacking throughout the day rather than at set times — and keeping up with the recommended check-up schedule are the fundamentals. Sealants and fluoride treatments, both common preventive tools in pediatric dentistry, add another layer of protection on top of these habits.
