First Dental Visit The first dental visit should occur shortly after the first tooth erupts and no later than the child's first birthday. Beginning early may prevent extensive dental needs in the future, creating a strong foundation for prevention.At the first visit we will provide: comprehensive examination, individual caries risk assessment, education on oral hygiene instruction, diet information, latest facts about finger, thumb and pacifier habits. What you need to know about preventing injuries to the mouth and teeth, and information on growth and development. We want to make your child's first visit as pleasant as possible. We introduce your child to the instruments and procedures using language that is age appropriate and friendly. For example, rather than take radiographs we take pictures of the teeth. This way, a child feels comfortable and has a positive experience. Parents play a critical role in good home habits and nutrition. As integral members of the team, they are always welcome to accompany the child during cleanings and treatment. |
