Child's First Dental Visit

Child's First Dental Visit

We have several important goals during your child’s first visit to our office. First, we want to introduce your child to staff and the dental setting in as non-threatening a way as possible.

We explain to the child what is going to happen and do our best to provide a fun interesting experience. We carefully examine the development of their mouth including: crowding, appearance of calcium deposits, abnormality in the number of teeth, baby bottle tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ, and signs of prolonged problems such as thumb-sucking and teething. We take x-rays when needed; we clean and polish teeth and apply fluoride when needed. We explain how a healthy diet relates to healthy teeth and we demonstrate the correct way to brush the teeth.
