First Visit

Your Child’s First Visit

During your child’s first visit to our pediatric dental office, we will examine your child’s teeth and gums and discuss any concerns you may have. We will also inform you and your child about proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing techniques.

Our goal is to create a comfortable and positive environment to make your child’s first visit a pleasant experience. We encourage parents to be present during the visit and ask any questions they may have.

Overall, the first visit to our pediatric dental office is important in establishing a “dental home” for your child and promoting good oral hygiene habits that will last a lifetime.
