Article Synopsis
- The recommended age for a child's first dental visit is by one year, but most children saw a dentist for the first time between ages 3-6, with only 1.73% visiting before one year.
- The primary reason for these visits was dental caries, accounting for nearly 60%, while many parents sought preventive check-ups.
- A minority of dentists adhere to the early visit guideline, with less than 18% recommending visits before age one; most prefer visits between ages 1-3, highlighting a gap in early dental care practices.
