Introduction
Many parents in Nepal are unsure when to take their child to the dentist for the first time. Some wait until the child has pain or visible cavities, but early dental visits are key to building lifelong healthy habits.
At Asian Dental, we focus on gentle, child-friendly care to make every child’s first dental experience positive and stress-free.
When Should You Take Your Child to the Dentist?
According to dental experts, your child should have their first dental visit by age one or within six months after their first tooth appears.
This early check-up helps your dentist monitor tooth development and teach you how to clean your child’s teeth properly.

Why Early Dental Visits Matter
- Prevent Cavities Early: Children’s teeth are more prone to decay due to frequent snacking and sugary foods.
- Build Positive Habits: Early visits help children become comfortable with dental check-ups.
- Guide Tooth Development: The dentist can detect spacing, bite, or alignment issues early.
