Your child should be brought in for their first appointment around two to three years old. At their first “get acquainted” appointment we give them a ride in the chair, assess their dental health, and count their teeth. We want their first experience with the dentist to be enjoyable and non-threatening. We allow the child to determine what will happen at the first appointment by how comfortable they feel. If your child is extremely fearful we may refer them to a Pedodontist (children’s dentist).

With older children we may perform x-rays if indicated, clean their teeth and do a fluoride treatment.

We also take the time to educate parents and children on the importance diet plays in oral health as well as home brushing and flossing routines.
