At Marysville Family Dentistry, we recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit around age three, when most of their primary teeth have erupted. This timing allows us to establish a positive relationship with your little one and ensure their smile is developing properly. However, if you have any concerns about your child's teeth or oral health before age three, we encourage you to bring them in earlier; we're always here to address your questions and provide peace of mind.
We Love Caring for Small Smiles
That first visit is an important milestone! We focus on making it a fun, comfortable experience that sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy dental habits. Our gentle, caring team takes the time to help your child feel at ease during their dental examination, which includes checking their bite development and discussing proper oral care techniques.
What to expect at your child's first visit:
- A gentle examination of your child's teeth, gums, and jaw development in a friendly, non-threatening environment
- Assessment of cavity risk and discussion of proper brushing and flossing techniques for little teeth
- Guidance on nutrition, thumb-sucking, pacifier use, and other habits that affect oral health
- Opportunity for your child to meet our team and become comfortable with the dental office setting
- Answers to all your questions about teething, fluoride, and caring for your child's smile
