The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts, whichever comes first.
For patients 3 and older, we find that they thrive when allowed to independently accompany our staff through the dental experience. This helps build confidence and creates a positive relationship with dental care. However, we respect the wishes of our parents at all times — you are always welcome to be present for all cleanings and exams if that is your preference.

Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing regularly, and limiting sugary snacks are key to preventing cavities. We also recommend fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s molars. They help seal out food and bacteria that can cause cavities in areas that are difficult to clean.
Fluoride treatment strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities by making your child’s teeth more resistant to decay. We apply it in a varnish, gel, or foam during regular checkups.
Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and limiting sugary drinks are essential for maintaining healthy teeth. Regular checkups ensure that any early signs of decay or other issues are addressed promptly.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early evaluation allows for the identification of potential alignment issues.
The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on your child’s specific needs, but most children wear braces for 18 to 24 months. We will provide an estimated timeline after evaluating your child’s dental needs.
Early orthodontic treatment can address alignment issues early, making it easier to correct problems later and prevent more complex treatments. It also ensures that your child’s teeth and jaw develop properly.
Yes, alternatives such as clear aligners, ceramic braces, and other options are available. We will discuss the best treatment for your child’s needs during their consultation.
