When should your child have their first dental checkup?

Many parent magazines and pediatricians recommend that a child have their first dental checkup when they get their first tooth. 

In most cases we believe that 2 1/2 - 3 years of age is early enough for that first visit unless you have reasons for concern, like a discolored tooth.

We recommend bringing the child along to a visit with a parent or an older sibling allowing them to get familiar with the environment before being scheduled for their very own visit.

Our hygiene staff is dedicated to providing a comfortable and fun learning environment to teach their young  patients about good dental habits!

It's time to get ready for the holidays! When preparing for these family gatherings we pay close attention to the appearance of our table setting. We bring out the fine china and the good sliverware, checking to make sure they are pristine and the silver is polished. Do we treat our teeth the same way? Do we clean in between our teeth just as we would the tines of our good forks?  Next time you set your table don't forget to clean your teeth just like you would your finest silverware!
