Pediatric Dentistry

A child’s first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable. Children are not born with a natural fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. Our office makes a special effort to use pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe each treatment.

 

We want you and your child to feel at ease from the moment your family arrives at our office. The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will feel.

 

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends:

Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday. It is important that your child’s newly erupted teeth (which emerge between six and 12 months of age) receive proper dental care and benefit from proper oral hygiene habits right from the beginning
