What to Expect on the First Visit
Patience and calm on your part will help ensure a successful and stress-free visit for your child. Schedule the appointment as early as possible in the day, when your child is alert and fresh.

The typical first dental appointment for your child could include one or more of the following:

  • A gentle but thorough examination of the teeth, jaw, bite, gums, and oral tissues to monitor growth and development and observe any problem areas.
  • If needed, a gentle cleaning, which includes polishing teeth and removing any plaque, tartar build-up, and stains.
  • X-rays
  • A demonstration of proper dental hygiene.
  • Assessment of the need for fluoride.

Ask our office if you can take your child on a tour of the dental office in advance of your appointment. This will create a sense of familiarity when the real appointment rolls around. Before your child's dental visit, ask us about the procedures to expect so there are no surprises. Bring with you to the appointment any records of your child`s complete medical history. If your child has a heart murmur or any other heart condition, please remember to bring a note from his/her pediatrician letting us know whether or not your child requires pre-medication. This may save you time from having to reschedule.
