Infants should have their first dental visit by what age?

1 yr
6 months
2 yrs
18 months

The correct answer is: 1 yr

Infants should have their first dental visit by the age of 1 year. This is recommended by dental professionals to ensure early detection of any dental issues and to provide guidance on proper oral hygiene habits for both the child and the parents. Starting dental visits at an early age helps in establishing a good foundation for oral health and can prevent future dental problems. Option B (6 months) is too early for a first dental visit for infants. While it is recommended to start cleaning an infant's mouth even before the first tooth appears, the first dental visit is typically recommended around the age of 1 year. Option C (2 years) and Option D (18 months) are also later than the recommended age for a first dental visit for infants. By waiting until 2 years or 18 months, important opportunities for early preventive care and education may be missed.
