Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Helpful information for parents
Your little one will start cutting their first teeth around 6 months. It’s a good idea to bring them to the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth. If you ever notice any discomfort or think something might be wrong, don’t wait—book an appointment right away! It’s never too late for their first dental visit.
Baby teeth play a huge role in your child’s development. They don’t just hold space for adult teeth—they affect how your child’s smile looks and how often they smile. Dental pain, even minor, can impact how kids chew, what foods they enjoy, and how much they eat. Taking care of their baby teeth helps ensure they develop healthy habits and a confident smile that lasts.
The first visit will depend on how comfortable your child feels and what needs to be done, but typically, it lasts about an hour. We try to keep it relaxed and fun, so they have a positive experience!
Just like adults, kids should visit the dentist regularly. We recommend a check-up and cleaning every 6 months, unless we suggest otherwise. If you notice any signs of tooth or jaw pain—like them avoiding hard foods or rubbing their jaw—don’t wait too long to book an appointment.
Cavities are little holes that develop in teeth over time, often caused by bacteria and plaque. Things like sugary foods, acidic drinks, and poor brushing habits can make cavities worse. The good news? Catching them early can help prevent bigger issues down the road.
Your child’s mouth is a whole system—teeth, gums, tongue, and more. If one part isn’t healthy, it can affect everything. Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums could be an early sign of a bigger problem, so keeping an eye on their gum health is just as important as caring for their teeth.
We get it—life’s busy with a family! We’re happy to make things easier by scheduling multiple appointments close together. Just give us a call, and we’ll do our best to work with your schedule.
