What to Expect During the First Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow our team to monitor growth and development, identify any early concerns and provide guidance on home care routines.
During your child’s first appointment, our team will:
- Gently examine the teeth, gums and bite
- Discuss oral hygiene habits and nutrition
- Offer tips for teething and thumb sucking
- Review developmental milestones
- Answer any questions parents may have
The goal is to make this visit fun, relaxed and informative. We take our time to explain everything in child-friendly language so young patients feel at ease and confident.
