Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Having a "Dental Home" helps to establish a relationship with your caregivers and an effective routine in your child's oral care.
You can help in making your child's first visit to the dentist an enjoyable one. Explain to your child what the visit is for and that the dentist and staff will answer any questions and make every effort to make it a fun experience.
