Frequently Asked questions
1. Do you take adults?
Our practice is specially designed just for kids—we’re all about little smiles, growing teeth, and helping children feel safe and happy at the dentist. While we don’t see adults, we’d be glad to recommend a great general dentist if you need one!
2. When should I bring my child in for their first dental visit?
We recommend bringing your child in when their first teeth start to come in—or by their first birthday. It’s never too early to start good habits!
3. What can I expect during my child’s first dental visit?
The first visit is all about making your child feel comfortable and safe. We’ll take a gentle look at their teeth and gums, chat about brushing and healthy habits, and answer any questions you have. If your child is ready, we may take a couple of small X-rays and do a gentle cleaning. Then, the dentist will check everything and make sure your little one is off to a great start!It's a great opportunity to build trust and introduce dental care in a positive way.
