Your child's first visit to the pediatric dentist

Going to the dentist for the first time can be overwhelming, but it is necessary. The American Dental Association recommends that you take your child to a pediatric dentist as soon as their first teeth erupt. The initial visit is not for treatments but consultation- your pediatric dentist will give you tips on maintaining your child’s teeth and gums properly. Learning what to expect at the dentist’s office from an early age helps alleviate anxiety associated with dental proceedings.
