A child’s first dental visit is a special milestone that sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry is committed to making your child’s introduction to dental care a fun, positive and educational experience. Early visits help children feel comfortable with dental care while allowing parents to learn how to support strong oral habits from the very beginning.
When to Schedule the First Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits allow our dentist and team to monitor your child’s oral development and identify any potential concerns as soon as possible.
During the first visit, you can expect:
- A gentle exam of your child’s teeth and gums
- Tips on brushing, flossing and nutrition
- A conversation about teething, habits and growth milestones
- Time to ask questions and address concerns
- A welcoming and child-friendly environment
Our goal is to build a relationship of trust and familiarity, helping your child feel relaxed and confident during future dental visits.
Gentle Pediatric Dentistry
A child’s early dental experiences shape their attitude toward oral health for years to come. Dr. Edgar Luna and our caring team are trained to work with young children in a calm and compassionate way. We use kid-friendly language, fun explanations and gentle techniques to help ease any fear or nervousness.
We also partner with parents to ensure that your child receives the best care at home and in our office. From answering questions about thumb sucking to helping you choose the right toothbrush, our team is here to support your family every step of the way.
Creating positive first experiences at the dentist encourages children to develop healthy routines and feel proud of caring for their teeth.
