For your child, make dental friends
before you need help! That's why an early "happy" visit by at least 2 years old is invaluable to introduce the office as well as checking teeth. This comfortable visit can be a no- charge, show- and-tell or, depending on the child, a cleaning and exam. This can avoid the very first visit as an emergency, tearful mouth injury. Then not only is the child in distress from the trauma but these strangers want to look!
Many adults have a great fear of the dentist because their first experience was negative as a child. Avoiding that scenario can lead to better health for teeth and gums and adult whole body health as well.
Early sealants to protect teeth as well as painless, non-invasive laser cavity check make your child's visits as comfortable as we can.
