What to Expect at Your Child's First Dental Visit

We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit within six months of their first tooth appearing, or by their first birthday. These early visits are short and gentle — we count teeth, check for early decay, and answer any questions about teething, thumb-sucking, or brushing technique. Most importantly, we focus on building trust so future visits feel familiar rather than scary. Bring a favorite toy or book, and feel free to stay in the room the whole time.
