First Dental Visit For Your Child

Your child's first visit to our dental office should be around his/her first birthday, but could be as early as you'd like (as soon as the first tooth erupts or even sooner). Here are some Dos and Don'ts.

Do:

• Have a tour of our dental office by coming in for a casual, friendly, get acquainted visit and checkup.
• Make an appointment for a visual check of your child's teeth.
• Have a discussion with us about oral health care for your child.
• Familiarize your child with our dental office. Consider taking them along when you or a sibling has a dental appointment.

Don't:

• Wait for an emergency for the first visit.
• Over prepare your children for dental visits.
• Use phrases like "It won't hurt much" or "It won't be too bad." Such phrases do not soothe; they only create anxiety.
