Frequently Asked Questions
At What Age Should My Child Visit the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends an oral health consultation visit within six months of a child's first tooth. We see children for their first dental visit between 12-18 months. We are happy to examine your child at a very young age. This is a great way to introduce your child to our dental office and staff. Our goal is to develop a caring relationship with your child and encourage proper oral hygiene for a lifetime.
