When should children start to see a dentist?

Children should start seeing a dentist as early as possible. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dental Association recommend dental checkups as soon as your child's first tooth comes in. Seeing a dentist early and often helps protect your child's oral health.

Many children are nervous about dentist visits. But a friendly atmosphere helps set your child at ease. The warmth and kindness offered by the First Smile Dental team help your children relax. The team works tirelessly to ensure that each patient receives friendly, reassuring care.

What happens during a dental appointment?

During each visit, the First Smile Dental team examines your mouth. They may take X-rays or other measurements. You also receive an in-depth cleaning. The team carefully clears away tartar, plaque, or other debris to also assess your gum health.

If the team spots a problem, they discuss possible treatments. Your First Smile Dental provider helps you choose the procedure that's right for you.
