What Age Should My Child See A Dentist?
What Is The Right Age For A Child's First Dentist Visit?
One of the most common questions we get is, “When Should My Child See A Dentist?”
Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics, we recommend that a child’s first dental visit be scheduled by his/her 1st birthday or within 6 months of the eruption of your child’s first tooth.

What Should I Expect For My Child's First Visit?
You should expect a pleasant, comfortable, fun first visit! Honestly, that’s what you should expect for EVERY visit. We understand the anxiety your child may feel about visiting the dentist for the first time. Our goal is to build trust and put your child at ease during future dental visits.
We will record the child’s dental and medical history, complete a comprehensive examination, discuss any findings with you, and talk about a preventative dental health plan moving forward!
Dr. Emily and her staff will explain everything in detail and will answer any questions both you our your child may have!
