When Should Kids See the Dentist?

We recommend booking your child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help us:

Monitor oral development
Catch early signs of decay
Get your child comfortable with dental care
Answer your questions about brushing, teething, and nutrition

Starting early builds confidence and helps prevent dental anxiety later in life.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Will my child be scared?

Most kids do great—especially when visits start early. We use simple language, show tools beforehand, and move at your child’s pace.

What if my child cries or won’t cooperate?

That’s completely normal. We’re trained to handle all kinds of behavior gently and with patience. There’s no judgment—just support.

Do I stay in the room with my child?

Yes! We encourage parents to stay with their child to offer comfort and be part of the experience.

Does the first visit include a cleaning?

For babies and toddlers, we focus on a visual exam and guidance for home care. For older kids, we may do a gentle cleaning and fluoride if they’re ready.

How often should kids go to the dentist?

We recommend a checkup every 6 months starting at age one—or earlier if you notice any issues.

Is this visit covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover preventive visits for children. We offer direct billing to make the process simple and stress-free.
