First Visit
Our goal is to ensure that your child's visit to our office is positive and memorable. Please help us prepare your child for his or her first visit to the dentist. Here are a few suggestions you may find helpful:
When should the first visit be?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen by age 1. This is especially important if it is your first child, so we can answer questions and give you suggestions as to how to better care for your child's teeth.
- Present the visit as a fun and exciting experience.
- Tell him or her that we will "count", "brush" "shine" and take "pictures" of their teeth. Utilizing these terms will help your child better understand the purpose of the visit.
- Please avoid negative phrases that may cause anxiety to your child such as "drill", "shots," etc.
