The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears—whichever comes first.

Why so early? Because starting dental visits young helps:
– Catch small issues before they grow
– Build trust and comfort with the dental environment
– Set your child up for a lifetime of healthy habits

At Hurst Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in gentle, stress-free first visits that make kids smile and parents feel confident. You’ll get practical tips, reassurance, and a dental team you can count on.

📞 Call us today at 205.969.7454 to ask questions or schedule your child’s first appointment.

Want to avoid billing surprises? Take these simple steps before your child’s dental visit:

1. Call your insurance provider and ask for a “benefits breakdown” for pediatric care.
2. Confirm your child is added to your plan—some plans require a separate enrollment.
3. Ask your dental office to verify coverage in advance and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
4. Clarify what’s covered: Exams, fluoride, cleanings, x-rays, sedation—each may vary.

Being informed puts you in control—and allows you to focus on what really matters: your child’s comfort and care.

Even before your baby’s first tooth appears, you can begin laying the foundation for lifelong oral health. Here are ways to do this:

– Gently wipe your baby’s gums after feedings
– Avoid putting them to bed with a bottle of juice or milk
– Introduce a soft-bristled brush to help them become comfortable with the idea of brushing

These early habits reduce the risk of decay and help your child learn that oral care is a normal part of their day. For simple, step-by-step routines and actual benefits, check out the full guide.

If you're wondering whether to get dental insurance for your young child, consider this: preventive care costs may seem small, but untreated dental issues can add up fast.

Here’s what to weigh:
– Cost of routine care: Exams, cleanings, and fluoride may cost $150–$250/year without insurance.
– Risk of treatment needs: Fillings, extractions, or sedation can quickly exceed $300–$1,000+.
– Plan benefits: Some policies offer 100% coverage for preventive visits, even for toddlers.

If your child is under age 5 and you're just beginning dental visits, the right insurance plan can offer peace of mind and cost protection—especially if your child may need extra care.

Dental emergencies happen without warning. When your child is in pain or injured, finances shouldn't be a barrier to urgent care.

If your child needs care immediately, contact your dentist and be honest about your financial situation. A trusted pediatric team will prioritize your child’s well-being first—and work with you on the rest.

Baby teeth may be small, but they have a big job! They help children chew properly, develop clear speech, and hold space for permanent teeth to grow in correctly. Healthy baby teeth also boost confidence when smiling and eating. Caring for them early prevents decay, infections, and costly dental problems later on.
