Our office starts seeing children around age 3. By this age most children have all of their primary teeth and it is a great time for the child to get used to our instruments and the sounds of a dental office, and also to make sure there is no decay in any of their teeth. We also demonstrate proper home care techniques for the child and their parent.
A Great Experience for You and Your Children
We always want the child to have a great appointment so they are not fearful of dental treatment. If you or your pediatrician have any concerns before age 3, we are happy to see the child for a checkup. Pediatric dentists see children as early as 6 months of age. We are happy to refer you.
