Pediatric Dentistry

First Dental Visit

Dr. Mahale and our kid-friendly staff ensure a comfortable experience during this important milestone. We take gentle x-rays and images to clearly understand your child’s dental health. Emphasizing oral health education, we provide easy-to-understand explanations to help kids maintain healthy teeth and gums between appointments.

It’s recommended to schedule your child’s first dental visit with us by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears.

Our team will examine your child’s teeth, gums, and bite, checking for any issues. They will also discuss oral hygiene practices and answer any questions you have.

Talk positively about visiting us, avoid using words that may cause fear, and consider bringing a favorite toy or comfort item. You can also read books about visiting the dentist to help them understand what to expect. We also have our therapy dog, Dobby, who loves belly rubs, snuggles, and kids!
