Here’s what you can expect

Infant visit (age one)
Prevention is key! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends seeing a dentist for the first time by age one. Your pediatric dental specialist will assess the growth and development of your child’s mouth (including any thumb-sucking or pacifier habits) and teach you how to best care for their tiny growing teeth.
Toddlers and preschoolers
Until your child is a preschooler, we don’t expect them to sit in a dental chair on their own or fully cooperate. This is totally normal. Your care provider will likely perform a lap-to-lap or knee-to-knee examination with a parent or caregiver’s help.
Elementary to young adult
We want your child to feel welcome and comfortable during their visit—these are the ideal years for them to build a positive attitude about dentistry and oral health. Your pediatric dentist will explain in age-appropriate terms what they are doing and show the instruments they’ll be using. As a parent, you are always welcome to be right by your child’s side.
Questions we commonly hear
At what age should my child visit a pediatric dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child's first visit to the dentist should occur by twelve months of age. This visit will enable our pediatric dentists to evaluate your child and discuss proper oral hygiene. Early education and guidance about diet, fluoride, tooth eruption and finger/pacifier habits can help ensure optimal dental health.

Our patients (and their parents) say it best

Jessica
The staff is wonderful! They are always helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The office is clean and bright. I love the open layout where I can sit with both of my children during their appointments. It's a great place for young kids.
