Establishing good dental habits early is key to lifelong healthy teeth. We recommend bringing your child in for their first exam and cleaning when their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday, as advised by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Early visits help detect any initial issues like tooth decay and set the foundation for maintaining good oral health through regular professional care and at-home hygiene practices.

​

During each visit, we gently clean your child's teeth and examine their mouth for potential concerns. We will also teach both you and your child how to properly brush and floss, discuss healthy food choices, and reinforce the importance of good dental hygiene. To strengthen your child's teeth, we may suggest fluoride treatments or dental sealants, which are effective in preventing decay and protecting the chewing surfaces of molars.
