What to Expect During a Visit:

We gently examine your baby’s gums, teeth, and bite, discuss teething and oral hygiene tips, and answer all your questions. These early visits help your baby get comfortable at the dentist while giving you the tools to support their growing smile at home.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend a dental visit by your child's first birthday or within 6 months of the first tooth.
