Pediatric Dentistry

WHAT TO EXPECT

AT YOUR CHILD’S FIRST DENTAL APPOINTMENT

According to the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should see a dentist when their first tooth erupts, or around their first birthday. When you bring your child in for the first time, Dr. Boals, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Kubeluis and Dr. Effinger will gently assess your child’s gums and check for any oral issues.

Most importantly, our team will answer any questions you have about your child’s dental health. Additionally, we will give you advice about developing positive oral care routines at home. We are a resource for you and your family, and we would feel honored to be a part of your child’s dental care routine.

STARTING GOOD HABITS YOUNG

WHY ESTABLISHING A TRUSTWORTHY PEDIATRIC DENTIST IS IMPORTANT

Starting a positive dental care routine early is one of the best things you can do for your child’s dental health. Regular checkups and biannual visits to the dentist will get your little one familiar with proper oral care, and it will also decrease their chances of developing dental anxiety later in life. Dr. Boals, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Effinger have years of experience treating children. Our team makes regular checkups fun and informative, and your child will leave our office with positive memories as well as a healthy smile.
