We advise parents to bring their children in for their first dental visit at around 2 ½ years of age. First of all, this “happy visit” provides us with an opportunity to spot and prevent any potential oral health or dental problems without actually having to do any immediate work on the child that would cause fear. Secondly, it helps us get acquainted with your child so that when they come in for their first cleaning appointment six months later, they’re comfortable with our office and staff.
