Very young children are invited to come to the office at no cost to become familiar with the dental surroundings and meet the staff. This builds confidence and cooperation. The first dental visit should be around two years of age. This will allow for an exchange of information between our staff and the parents. The goal is to avoid problems and begin preventive care as early as possible. Many times it is convenient for your child to come while you, the parent, are having a periodic visit with the hygienist to be seen by another one of our providers. We will continue with these no charge visits until your child is comfortable enough with our office and staff to continue with a hygiene visit.
