How often do I need to bring my child to the dentist?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that your child visit a dentist for the first time as soon as their first tooth has erupted, or by their first birthday then every 6 months for checkup and cleaning. For patients with braces or high risk for cavities, we might recommend coming more often.

What do I expect during the appointment?

Our trained, friendly dental staff will welcome your child to the dental chair. After making your child comfortable, we explain in a fun, engaging way what we will do next, which will include a gentle cleaning followed by polishing teeth and removing plaque, tartar, and stains as needed. Next, the dentist will do a full exam of teeth, jaws, bite, gums, and oral tissues to check the growth and development. Dental X-rays will be taken based on your child’s age and need. We finish the visit with rewards and prizes!
