According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a child has to undergo his first dental exam once his first baby tooth voluntarily falls off on or before his first birthday. While biannual visits are recommended for adults, the frequency for young children depends on their risks of tooth decay, overall health and current ages. Only when the child reaches a year older and above will the recommended six-month visits be applicable, but the number of visits may still increase or lessen depending on the results of each check-up. Given the differences between caring for the dental health of children as opposed to adults, the former are best handled by pediatric dentists for their specialized training.
