Pediatric First Visit

We have created a relaxed and fun environment for your child’s first visit and work hard to help children develop a positive relationship with their oral health.

Baby & Me visits help ensure your baby’s oral health and nutritional needs. This visit includes a gentle examination of your baby’s erupting teeth, gums, bite, and mouth tissues. We will help with preventive homecare techniques, leaving lots of time for questions. We can even discover and intercept issues before they become unexpected surprises.

As pediatric dentistry specialists, we understand children have different needs and comfort levels. We frequently recommend scheduling a separate cleaning appointment after the initial examination, so we make dental hygiene and dentist visits a regular and essential part of their lives.
