It’s a great idea to bring your child in for a dental visit when they’re as young as two years old — the earlier they get introduced to children’s dentistry, the easier it will be for you to encourage good oral health habits.
On their first visit at this age, our dentist will do mostly general services:
Full exam of their teeth, bite and gums
Check for any abnormal growth and development
Gentle cleaning, including polishing the teeth and removing any plaque or tartar
We can also show your child how to properly brush their teeth and floss correctly to prevent future concerns. An ideal first visit is one where your child doesn’t have any significant dental problems, so we can take our time to get to know them and ensure they feel comfortable and relaxed.
