Your Child’s First Exam

Start Caring Early

Your Child’s Dental Health

Caring for primary teeth is about more than waiting for adult teeth. Healthy baby teeth help children eat, speak clearly, and feel confident. When early cavities or other issues go untreated, kids can miss school, struggle with concentration, and lose sleep from pain.

Their first dental visit lets us spot any concerns, teach proper brushing and flossing, and set them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

When Should A Child First See A Dentist?

The American Dental Association advises that your child’s first dental visit take place within six months of their first tooth emerging. Starting this early builds a positive relationship with the dentist, helps children feel comfortable in the chair, and encourages good habits that can prevent costly problems down the road.

Help Them Learn Early

During early visits, we’ll teach you proper brushing and flossing techniques and discuss preventive steps like fluoride treatments and healthy diet choices. As your child grows, appointments will include cleanings and cavity checks just like yours. Regular visits let us monitor development and tailor a dental plan that evolves with their needs.

We’ll also use these visits to identify any early signs of orthodontic needs, bite issues, or developmental concerns. By catching problems sooner, we can recommend simple interventions or referrals that keep treatment as gentle and effective as possible. Each checkup is an opportunity to ensure your child’s smile stays on the right track from their very first tooth through adolescence.
