Child's first dental visit

We are often asked, "how old does my child need to be before they see a dentist?"  Well, there are several answers to the question.  One, if you notice a problem in your child's mouth or are concerned, please visit a dentist or a pedodontist (they specialize in the treatment of children) as soon as possible. 
Two, when they are 2 years old, we like for them to start their dental visits.  It may be a get acquainted visit, or a full on exam with prophy (cleaning).  It solely depends on the level of comfort of your child. 
We strive to be the best and to establish a life long relationship with your child.  We do not want them afraid.  It is common to be anxious, but not fearful.  Always speak positivelyy about their upcoming visit, and do not let any past experience on your behalf inhibit their visit.
Hopefully, they will grow with us.
Thanks,
Dr. Josh
