Our team creates a welcoming and enjoyable environment, helping children build positive associations with dental visits. A happy visit today means a happy smile tomorrow.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends:
Your child's first dental visit should occur by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow us to monitor oral development and provide guidance on oral care practices.
After their initial visit, children should have regular dental checkups every six months. These visits help maintain their oral health and build a foundation for future dental care.
Begin cleaning your child's gums with a soft cloth before their first tooth erupts. Once teeth appear, use a child-sized toothbrush with a small amount of toothpaste.
