Your Child's First Dental Visit

• Schedule your child's firs dental visit between the arrival of their first tooth and first birthday.

• Check out our First Smiles Program!

• If possible schedule a morning appointment when your child is well rested and cooperative.

• Stay positive!  Try to make you child's dental visit as pleasant as possible by holding your own anxieties and fears to yourself.

• The dentist will help keep your child's teeth healthy.

• Never bribe your child or use the dental visit as punishment.

• Encourage your child to go to the treatment room by themselves.  You will be called in for a conference following the appointment.

• Brushing techniques, flossing, healthy snacks and fluoride recommendations will be discussed.

• Finally teaching your child good oral hygiene habits early, will lead to a lifetime of dental health.
