The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that the first visit is within six months of the first tooth eruption.
At Justison and Gladnick Family Dentistry, we take this opportunity, at no cost to you, to welcome your child into our dental practice and introduce him or her to our warm and child-friendly staff. This is really an informal and pleasant experience for your child. It helps them feel comfortable in the dental environment before starting pediatric dentistry in Wilmington, DE.
What Happens At My Child's First Appointment?
These appointments also allow our children’s dentist in Wilmington to monitor your child’s oral development and spot any potential issues early. Additionally, we help educate you on how to care for your child’s smile at home, which plays a crucial role in his or her success.
Discussions may include:
- Thumb sucking, pacifier use
- Teething concerns
- Cleaning your child’s teeth after eating
- What to do in the event of a dental emergency
- Nutritional counseling
And we always take the time to answer your questions or address your concerns.
Our dentists also believe that dentistry should be fun for your child, and we work hard to help them feel confident and comfortable in our dental office. We want your child to enjoy coming to the dentist as much as we love seeing him or her in our practice!
Healthy smiles for life start with excellent dental experiences.
