AGE ONE VISIT

Baby’s First Visit

According to the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, every child should visit a dentist around age 1 and every six months thereafter.  These visits help children begin to get comfortable in a dental setting and allow dentists to observe the dental changes in a child’s mouth from an early age.

At the initial visit, the dentist will perform your baby’s first oral examination and will review infant oral hygiene. In some cases, the dentist will clean your baby’s teeth and apply a topical fluoride.  The extent of the examination will depend entirely on you and your child’s comfort level.

We strive to provide a fun and supportive environment for children. Our approach to dentistry for children is “Tell, Show, Do.” We will always tell your child about each procedure and how it works, show your child what it looks like, and then perform the procedure when they are comfortable. We will only use the most comforting and positive words and phrases when talking to your child.

Our goal is for both you and your child to leave our office calm, happy and smiling from ear to ear!
