Common Questions Parents Have About Pediatric Dental Visits
We are always open to new questions, and we’ve shared a few common ones below.
When should my child first see the dentist?
We strongly recommend bringing your child to the dentist around their first birthday. If you have concerns before that time, don’t hesitate to call us.
How can I prepare my child for their first dentist visit?
Always discuss the dentist in a positive way and avoid words like “drill” or “needle.” Let your child know that the dentist they’re about to meet is a new friend.
Will my child need braces?
We monitor your child’s oral development closely from the very first visit and will discuss orthodontics with you if there are concerns.
