What Happens at the First Visit

Your child's first appointment is designed to be easy and enjoyable:

1. Introduction to the dental office and our friendly team
2. Gentle examination of teeth, gums, and bite
3. Cleaning and fluoride treatment if appropriate
4. Discussion of oral hygiene habits and diet tips
5. Answers to any questions from parents

The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first dental visit within six months of the first tooth appearing, or by age one. Early visits help us catch potential issues and establish good habits.
