What to Expect during Your Child's First Visit?

Your child’s first dental visit should be scheduled around their first birthday or six months after their first tooth appears. During their visit, our pediatric dentist in New York, NY, will thoroughly examine their oral health and check for cavities and other oral problems such as decay, gum disease, and development or alignment issues. The dentist may also take X-rays to examine the child’s teeth and jaws in detail. 

After the exam, our pediatric dentist will create a treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs. This may include cleanings, fillings, or other procedures. They’ll also teach you and your child about proper oral hygiene habits. 

Establishing Oral Hygiene Habits

Our kid-friendly pediatric dentistry services include educating parents and children on the importance of brushing, flossing, and oral care. These early lessons create habits that contribute to a lifetime of good dental health.

Preventing Dental Anxieties

Positive experiences during childhood dental visits significantly reduce the likelihood of developing dental anxieties in the future. Our kid-friendly dentist strives to create an environment where children feel safe, understood, and empowered.

Monitoring Dental Growth

A child's mouth and teeth undergo significant changes as they grow. Our kid-friendly dentist monitors these changes closely, ensuring that dental development is on track and any issues are addressed promptly.
