Early Dental Care

A Child’s First Dental Visit

A child’s first dental visit should be scheduled around his/her first birthday. The most important part of the visit is getting to know and becoming comfortable with your doctor. A pleasant, comfortable first visit builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future dental visits. Children should be encouraged to discuss any fears or anxiety they feel. Dr. Vernon, Dr. Siegel, and their team are highly trained to help you and your child have a positive first dental experience.
