The diagnosis of niacin deficiency is based on the diet history and symptoms. Measuring a by-product of niacin in urine can help establish the diagnosis, but this test is not always available. The diagnosis is confirmed if niacin relieves symptoms.
The survey of primary caregivers revealed that, for those children who had seen a dentist â and 34% had not â the average age at the initial visit was 2.6 years. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that a child go to the dentist by age 1 or within six months after the first tooth erupts. Primary teeth typically begin growing in around 6 months of age.
So somewhere between two or three years old, not when they get their first tooth like some others are saying! My daughter got her first tooth at 5 months, which is about average. How are you supposed to get a 5 month old to sit still, much less open her mouth for the dentist?! I took my first daughter at two.
