We believe the foundation for oral health begins with early intervention. We recommend establishing a “Dental Home” by age one to ensure your child’s development is on the right track from the very start.

Understanding Your Child’s Visits

• The Initial Consultation: This is a comprehensive first evaluation. Our doctor focuses on a thorough introduction to the clinic, helping your child become acquainted with the unique sights and sounds of the dental office to eliminate “white coat syndrome.”

• Recall Exams: Regular return visits are vital. Because dental decay progresses very rapidly in primary (baby) teeth, these periodic check-ups allow us to catch concerns early, making treatments much less invasive and easier for your child to tolerate.

What We Monitor & Evaluate

Our team is specially trained to diagnose pediatric oral diseases and monitor development through:

• Comprehensive Screenings: We check for oral pathology, gum disease, and tooth decay, while also evaluating any current restorations.

• Growth Tracking: We assess jaw development, orthodontic needs, and the eruption of permanent teeth to ensure everything is on schedule.

• Preventative Care: Every recall visit includes a professional cleaning, flossing, and a fluoride application to keep teeth strong.

Guidance for Parents

These visits are the perfect time for us to partner with you. We provide personalized Nutritional Counseling and Oral Hygiene Instruction to help you manage teething, pacifier use, and healthy eating habits at home.

A Comfortable Experience

We provide a warm, kid-friendly environment for every evaluation. Whether performing a gentle “knee-to-knee” exam or a chairside check-up, our goal is to ensure your child feels safe, comfortable, and empowered in their dental health journey.
