Kids dentistry starting at age 3
We welcome children starting at age 3. Early dental visits help children build positive habits and allow us to catch any issues before they become larger problems. We recommend bringing children in for their first visit around age 3, or sooner if you have a concern.
At a child's first visit, we will do a gentle exam, take any needed x-rays, and clean their teeth. We will also talk with you about brushing, flossing, diet, and what to expect as your child grows. Our goal is to make the dental office a comfortable and familiar place for your child from an early age.
Visit our kids dentistry page to learn more about what to expect at your child's first visit.
