THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS TWO CLEANINGS/EXAM A YEAR
We, along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), recommend that your child visit the dentist for the first time when they are about 6 months old or when their first tooth erupts (no later than their first birthday). This initial appointment is designed to help establish a “dental home” for your child so they can feel comfortable in the dental office, develop trusting relationships with our dentists and team, and ensure that they are growing and developing correctly.
This initial appointment is designed to help establish a “dental home” for your child so they can feel comfortable in the dental office, develop trusting relationships with our dentists and team, and ensure that they are growing and developing correctly. Our goal is to help your child avoid feelings of anxiety, discomfort and fear regarding dental care in the future. We are also here to be a resource for you in caring for your child’s smile as they grow.
Your child should visit the dentist at least once every six months. These routine visits allow us to provide your child with preventive care, such as cleanings and exams, and monitor their oral health to ensure any developing problems are diagnosed and treated promptly. Depending on your child’s needs, we may recommend a more frequent schedule of visits.
Your child’s first dental visit sets the tone for many of their future interactions with the dentist. The first visit rarely involves any actual treatment, instead helping to establish a dental home so they can begin developing positive, trusting relationships with our dentists and team. We want your child to feel as comfortable as possible when they visit Children & Family Dentistry & Braces so that they can receive the care they need and enjoy a healthy mouth and smile. Please contact our office today to make your child’s first dental appointment and learn more!
Your child should visit the dentist within six months of their first tooth erupting, or no later than about age 1. A typical first dental appointment for children will include:
Our dentists will also:
We also recommend that you take a few steps to help your child feel calmer and more comfortable in the dental office. The best way to do this is by remaining calm and positive yourself. Children often pick up on the moods of adults around them, so if you are calm, your child will feel calm. You can also help them feel more at ease by avoiding threatening language and providing positive explanations about what will happen during the appointment if your child has questions. Please feel free to contact our team if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment.
We believe that everyone deserves to receive quality dental care tailored to their individual needs. Give us a call today to schedule your appointment and receive personalized, comprehensive care!
