Catch cavities and small issues early

When Should My Child Start Dental Visits?

Your child should visit a pediatric dentist by age 1, or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits:

Help children feel at ease in the dental setting

Allow us to catch problems like bottle decay or tongue-tie early

Provide parents with guidance on teething, brushing, and diet

Katie is amazing! My daughter was very nervous and she was able to distract her by talking to her about things that interest her and also held her hand throughout the entire process. The girls Sho and Kathy that work the front desk are very helpful and kind as well. Both my son and daughter are no longer afraid of the dentist. Thank you so much!
