First Visit - Children's Hygiene

It is important to expose a child to their first dental visit in a positive way. The first visit should be soon after the child's first teeth erupt. Bring them with you for your regular dental cleaning. There are many things in a dental office that look ominous to a small child and exposing them to them when no treatment is intended is a good way for them to become comfortable with the environment. Many children will then want "their turn" and we can examine them and show them how to brush their teeth. Later, their own appointment is not new to them-they've been there before.
