The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children visit the dentist for the first time around their first birthday. This initial visit is a great opportunity for your family to get familiar with our office, meet our caring team, and begin building a positive relationship with dental care. During the appointment, we’ll review and demonstrate proper oral hygiene, discuss the benefits of fluoride, and share tips for preventing dental issues. After a gentle oral exam, we’ll take time to answer all your questions and address any concerns.
We typically recommend a child’s first professional cleaning and fluoride treatment between the ages of 2½ and 3, with follow-up visits every six months to maintain a healthy smile.
Our practice is committed to creating a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment for children. Before any procedure, we explain what it is, show the tools we’ll use, and only move forward when your child feels comfortable. We always use gentle, positive language to ensure your child feels safe and encouraged.
Our goal is for both you and your child to leave our office feeling relaxed, informed, and smiling from ear to ear!
