Giving Teeth a Healthy Start  - Good Habits Begin Early!

 

Your child’s dental health begins long before the celebration of the first tooth. It starts with the mother’s nutrition during pregnancy combined with the family’s health history. Therefore it is recommended having the first dental visit by the first birthday.

 

We believe that a child's first visit to our dental office should be fun, educational and most of all, make a positive impression.  This approach allows us to provide the highest level of dental health care for your child and spend as much time with you as needed to answer your questions.

 

At your initial visit we take special interest in you and your child’s medical history. It’s true that some individuals are more cavity prone than others. Knowing as much as possible from the very beginning allows us to develop a customized prevention plan for your child, incorporating; dietary habits, nutrition, oral hygiene techniques and the latest prevention methods to ensure optimal oral health for your child.
