Your Child’s First Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a dentist to receive an initial dental exam within six months of when their first tooth erupts. These first dental visits are designed to establish a dental home and help your child begin developing positive associations with visiting the dentist.
A typical pediatric dental appointment will include the following:
• The dental staff will greet you and your child.
• We will review the health history of your infant and your family.
• Our dentist will ask about your child’s oral habits, pacifier use, diet and general development.
• We will perform a gentle examination of your child’s teeth and gums, during which we will note any teeth that may appear in coming months.
• We will provide advice on brushing, flossing, how to prevent oral injury, fluoride intake and other topics to help you keep your child’s mouth healthy at home.
• We will provide a description of your child’s current oral health in detail, and make any needed recommendations about oral habits, toothbrushes and toothpaste, diet and pacifiers.
• A schedule of regular appointments will be created by our team for your child.
• We will address your questions and concerns.
Remember, if you are calm, your child will feel calm. You can help your child feel more comfortable and happier in the dental office by being positive and calm yourself. You can encourage your child to develop positive associations with visiting the dentist by avoiding threatening language and providing positive explanations about what will happen during the appointment.
If you have any questions about your child’s first dental appointment, please feel free to contact our office.

Prophylaxis is a highly effective treatment in keeping your mouth healthy and in preventing and halting the progression of gum disease.

• Plaque removal – Tartar and plaque buildup above and below the gum line result in serious periodontal problems. Even with good oral hygiene routines at home, it can be difficult to removal all bacteria, debris, plaque and deposits from the mouth. Using specialized dental equipment, our dentist can remove potentially damaging buildup.
• A healthier smile – Stained and yellowed teeth impact your appearance. Regular teeth cleanings reduce these stains and keep your teeth looking healthier and more beautiful.
• Fresher breath – Bad breath (halitosis) is an indication of several dental problems including periodontal disease. There are several causes of bad breath, and our dentist will work with you to determine what is causing your bad breath and how to treat it. Regular dental cleanings to remove plaque, calculus and bacteria improve bad breath and help to prevent it from returning.
• Prophylaxis should be performed twice annually as a preventive treatment, but it may be recommended more frequently if you have been diagnosed with gum disease.
