PATIENT INFO





First Visit

When & What is My Child's First "Regular" Visit?

The first "regular" dental visit should be by your child's first birthday. We will gently examine your child's teeth and gums (gingiva). X-rays may be taken in order to reveal decay and check on the progress of your child's permanent teeth under the gums. We may clean your child's teeth and apply topical fluoride to help protect the teeth against decay. We will make sure your child is receiving adequate fluoride at home. Most important of all, we will review with you how to clean and care for your child's teeth.  We will also recommend dietary ways to avoid cavities.
