Report
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American Dental Associations recommends children visit a dentist by their first birthday.
Our office is strong believer in this recommendation and has seen the advantages to having children seen at this age.
Early visits give us time to identify and reduce any risk factors we may find that could lead to unhealthy teeth.
During this visit, we provide you, the parent, with the information needed to care of your child's smile.

First Visit
Report
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age.
Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.

The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
