Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I schedule my child’s first dental appointment?
A: Parents are advised to schedule their child’s first dental visit by the time they reach their first birthday. By this age, your child should have already formed their initial baby teeth and additional baby teeth will continue to quickly develop.
Q: Why should they see the dentist so early, they don’t even have all of their teeth yet?
A: By scheduling dental visits for your child early in life, children become more familiar with the process and develop a level of comfort that will carry over for future visits. Starting early is the best way to get your child on the right track for healthy teeth and a gorgeous smile.
Q: Why is their first visit so important?
A: The first dental visit is a very important time for both the parent and the child. It is our first chance to examine your child’s gums and oral structures and make sure that everything is developing as it should. We use this key opportunity to provide parents with important information regarding teething, cavity prevention, thumb sucking and more. As well as, allow parents the opportunity to address any concerns about their child’s oral health.
Q: Can they still come here if they have been to another dentist before?
A: Absolutely! We accept children of all ages, no matter how many other dentists they’ve seen.
Q: What makes this place so different?
A: In addition to providing outstanding dental care, we want to show children that the dentist’s office is a place that they want to visit. Our goal is to make it a “fun-filled, not fear-filled” experience. The office has a bright and cozy atmosphere that makes them forget they’re even at the dentist! That, plus the inclusion of our warehouse-sized Smile Zone - an arcade, play area, and Laser Tag arena - they’ll actually look forward to going to the dentist!
