Going to the dentist as an adult absolutely depends on the experience you had as a child. People who have had a bad experience or don’t develop the habit during childhood almost always have inferior oral health as adults, which impacts their overall health. Taking your child to the dentist at a young age is the best way to not only prevent problems such as tooth decay, and can help you learn how to clean your child’s teeth but also help establish a lifetime of good oral care habits. Bringing your child to the dentist early often leads to a lifetime of good oral care habits and acclimates your child to the dental office, thereby reducing anxiety and fear, which will make for plenty of stress-free visits in the future.
