Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.

The Dental Home is intended to provide a place other than the Emergency Room for parents.

You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.

It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as "needle", "shot", "pull", "drill" or "hurt". The office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.

We ask that you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. Separation anxiety is not uncommon in children and can even be a bit teary. It's also normal for you to be nervous as you send your little one out into the world to explore and make new relationships on their own. However remember: You are giving your child a gift by teaching independence. Our team can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Our purpose is to gain their confidence and overcome apprehension.

We strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one!
