For Infants and Children
Your child’s first visit with us should be within six months after the first tooth comes in and no later than the first birthday. This visit is considered a “well baby checkup” for teeth. If you observe discolorations, swellings, or anything else abnormal surrounding the teeth or gums, please call to set an appointment right away.
During the exam, your child will have a thorough examination which will be completed by your dentist. This includes:
-
A friendly visit (You can tell your young child, “The dentist will count your teeth, take some pictures of your teeth, and may shine your teeth.”)
-
Evaluation of past medical and dental problems, which may affect treatment
-
Examination of the teeth and gums
-
Cleaning (prophylaxis) which may be done to prevent tooth decay

Necessary x-rays- you will be informed of the type of radiographs and the diagnostic benefit as determined by the doctor
