    • Guideline development for pediatric dental examinations.
    • Parental education strategies for preventive oral care.
    • Collaboration with other health professionals on early intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Inconsistent recommendations for first dental visit age.
    • Delayed first visits often due to existing dental problems.
    • Need for proactive parental education and early risk assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Early dental visits are vital for preventive care and risk assessment in toddlers.
    • Educating parents and health professionals on preventive strategies is key.
    • Establishing a dental home before trauma occurs is a primary goal.
