Your Child's First Visit

The first dental visit should ideally be shortly after the first tooth erupts, but no later than the child’s first birthday. The earlier the dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental disease and helping your child build a cavity-free smile.

We recognize that every child is unique. Therefore we will choose from a variety of approaches to make the visit comfortable and fun for your son or daughter. During your first visit, we will go over brushing, flossing and ways to prevent cavities including healthy foods for the teeth. Dr. Thakker will examine your child’s teeth. We may clean your child’s teeth and apply fluoride. X-rays may be taken depending on your child’s age and risk for getting cavities.

Parents are welcome to either relax in the reception area or accompany their child into the treatment area.
