Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommends that your child visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday. As your child enters our kid-friendly office, he or she will be introduced to our wonderful dental team.  During the initial visit, our staff and Dr. Dixon will review your child’s medical history and discuss your child’s daily dietary and oral hygiene routines.  The goal of the first dental visit is to introduce your child to a lifetime of healthy dental habits.  The purpose of the “First Visit” is to provide you with a wealth of information to help you care for your child’s teeth now and in the future.  We love children and want them to have a fun, exciting, and educational experience.   We want children of all ages to love coming to the dentist. 

We encourage you to tell your child about their “First Dental Visit”.   We recommend reading books that will help explain to your child what he or she should expect at their first dental visit.  Please tell them that it will be fun and exciting.   We ask that you please refrain from using words like “shot”, “needle”, “drill”, or “pull”.  Our staff is highly trained to use words that convey the same meaning, but are less intimidating to your child.  We appreciate your help in making your child’s dental visit a very positive experience.

We invite you to stay with your child during the initial examination. During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We are all highly experienced in helping children overcome anxiety and dental fear. Studies and experience have shown that most children over the age of 3 react more positively when permitted to experience the dental visit on their own and in an environment designed for children.
