Your Childs First Visit
A child’s first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable and positive.
The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will
feel. Children are not born with a fear of the dentist, but they can fear
the unknown. Our office makes a practice of using pleasant, non-frightening,
simple words to describe your child’s first dental visit and treatment.
We want you to feel at ease from the moment your family arrives at our office.According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should visit the dentist by their first birthday. It is important that your child’s newly-erupted teeth (erupting at 6-12 months of age) receive proper dental care and benefit from proper oral hygiene habits right from the beginning. To prepare for your child’s visit, we have created an activity kit to familiarize your child with their teeth and help them look forward to their dental visit. >> Getting to know your teeth is fun!
