Canadian Dental Association ( CDA ) Back

In Canada, the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) recommends that a child's first visit to the dentist should occur within six months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by the age of one year, whichever comes first. This early visit allows the dentist to monitor the child's oral health development and provide guidance to parents regarding oral hygiene practices, fluoride use, diet, and other factors that can affect oral health.

Regular dental check-ups should then be scheduled every six months or as recommended by the dentist to ensure ongoing monitoring and preventive care for the child's oral health. It's important to establish good oral health habits early in life to promote a lifetime of healthy smiles.
