Frequently Asked Questions

Your Top Questions Answered
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
+

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen by the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first.

Early dental visits help:

  • Monitor development: Ensure your child’s teeth and gums are growing correctly.
  • Prevent dental issues: Catch potential concerns early to avoid more significant problems later.
  • Build comfort: Introduce your child to the dental environment in a fun, stress-free way.
  • Educate parents: Get expert advice on brushing, diet, and healthy habits.

Starting dental visits early helps set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Feel free to reach out if you’re unsure when to schedule your child’s first visit—we’re here to help!

How do I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
+

A little preparation can make your child’s first dental visit a positive experience. Here’s how you can help:

  • Stay positive. Talk about the dentist in an upbeat way and avoid words like “hurt” or “pain.”
  • Try books and videos. Fun, kid-friendly stories can help your child feel ready for their first visit.
  • Practice at home. Pretend to play by counting their teeth with a toothbrush or practicing opening wide.
  • Schedule wisely. Choose an appointment time when your child is well-rested and not hungry.
  • Bring a comfort item. A favorite stuffed animal or toy can provide reassurance during their first visit.

Our friendly team is here to make their first visit fun and enjoyable!

Can I stay with my child during the appointment?

Absolutely! We welcome parents to stay with their child during the appointment. Your presence can provide comfort and reassurance, especially for younger or nervous children. We aim to create a stress-free, supportive environment for you and your child.
