Tips for Parents: Your Child's First Dental Visit

Your Child's First Dental Visit
Many parents ask us when they should start taking their child to the dentist.  We recommend doing a "tiny tots" visit anywhere from age 1-2.  At the visit, you and your child will meet with one of our hygienists and one of our doctors.  These early childhood dental visits will allow us to monitor the teeth for signs of decay and monitor the progress and potential problems with emerging teeth.  We will also discuss proper brushing techniques and give tips for home care, as well as making sure your child receives the proper amount of fluoride.  We try to make the first visit a fun experience for your child!

  1. Your child will greatly benefit from going to the dentist as he grows old. He will learn to be brave and to have fun while visiting the dentist.
