When Should My Child Visit the Dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that children begin seeing a dentist by the time they turn one or when their first tooth grows in, whichever happens first. If your child has passed these milestones and hasn’t seen a dentist yet— don’t worry. Our team will be happy to see them at their first appointment in the near future! Children should also be visiting the dentist at least twice per year, just like adults, for routine cleanings and exams.

What Should I Expect at My Child’s First Dental Visit?

Your child’s first visit with our team will be all about getting to know their unique preferences and dental needs. As a dentist for kids and adults alike, we offer amenities that can cater to patients of all ages, like iPads with games, cartoons, and pillows and blankets in our treatment rooms, which make children’s dental visits extra fun! We will always work at your child’s pace to ensure that they have comfortable and enjoyable visits, whether they’re coming in for a restorative treatment, orthodontic appointment, or a simple cleaning.

Do I need to make an appointment for my child?

In general, patients should always plan to schedule appointments with our team beforehand to ensure that we will have plenty of time in our schedule to care for their child. While you’re free to schedule visits whenever is most convenient for your family, we find that younger children tend to be fresher and more cooperative in the morning, while older children and teens may prefer afternoon appointments. If your child ever needs emergency dental care and you’re wondering: “where is an emergency kids dentist near me?” Our office can help! We just ask that parents give us a quick call beforehand so we can prepare for their arrival.
