One of the most common questions is when should a child have their first dental visit. As a general rule, once your child is between 24-36 months is a good time to begin. I would advise each parent to prepare for their child’s first visit to the dentist by going to the library or local bookstore and getting a couple of children’s books that deal with baby teeth and the first visit to the dentist.

I just had a bunch of work done at my dentist. I paid my portion and now he sent me a bill because the insurance company didn’t pay the rest. I don’t think I should have to pay it.
