What is Children’s
Dentistry?
Children’s dentistry is mainly preventive measures like teaching, regular dental checkups and forming relationships. Children can have their first visit as young as two years old, and while most do not need dental work, this is a great time for us to examine their teeth and gums to ensure their oral development is following a healthy path. We can also introduce the concept of proper brushing at this age, and begin teaching them that oral health is an important and normal part of overall health.

Your Child’s First Dental Exam

Prepare
Bring your child to one of your dental exams or an exam of a family member and allow them to watch. Obviously, they do not need to witness a tooth extraction, but allowing them to see a routine examination will show them that it is a perfectly natural process. Asking the dentist to give them a ride in the dental chair can go a long way to helping your child feel comfortable.
Also, when you make your child’s first dental visit, inform our staff that it is their first and let them know of any anxieties or fears your child may have. We can then prepare and ensure they feel safe and comfortable during their appointment.
