When should my child first see the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth. Early visits are short and fun, and they help us catch problems like bottle decay early.
How do you help nervous kids?
We use tell-show-do: we tell them what we will do, show them the tool, then do it. Parents are welcome in the room, and we never rush.
