Why Pediatric Dentistry Matters
Children’s teeth need special care as they grow. Regular dental check-ups will help to prevent cavities, detect issues early, and ensure proper oral development. Our pediatric dental team is trained to work with kids, making their dental visits a positive experience.

When Should My Child Visit the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry suggests that kids see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth comes in. Visiting the dentist every six months helps keep their teeth and gums healthy.
How to Prepare Your Child for a Dental Visit
We know that some kids may feel scared about going to the dentist. Here are some tips to help make their visit easier:
- Speak positively about the dentist and tell your child what will happen during the visit.
- Read children’s books about dental visits to help them feel comfortable.
- Schedule appointments at a time when they are well-rested.
