Your First Visit

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen for their first dental examination no later than their first birthday.

The purpose of the initial exam is to ensure that your child is in good dental health, begin a preventive dental program, and establish a dental home in the event of an emergency.

Positive views of dentistry often begin in the home. Please convey good feelings to your child about dental visits rather than negative emotions that you may have. We will work hard to make your child's first visit enjoyable and positive. We welcome you to accompany your child to the exam area. However, we have found that many children four and older enjoy their independence and respond more positively when seen without the parent present. If your child is comfortable with new experiences, we suggest that you allow your child to accomplish their dental visit independently.
