We Make Dental Introductions Easy So Your Kids Like Going to the Dentist

The first dentist visit for a toddler is mostly an opportunity for the child to get to know our dentists and for you to ask any questions you may have about your child’s oral health. As your child gets older, we’ll:

  • Introduce family dentistry services like dental sealants and fluoride applications to help prevent cavities and keep their teeth healthy
  • Pay special attention to the alignment of your child’s teeth.

To make their first visits especially easy, we suggest you bring your children along with you when you come for your regular dental cleanings. Our caring dental assistants are happy to explain what is happening during your visit. They don’t mind answering all your children’s questions – even the creative ones! This way, your kids already know and like us when they come in for their own appointments.

To schedule your child’s first dental visit in Warrenton, call us at 540-386-1943 today. You can also schedule online. Our office is located at 60 Rock Pointe Lane, just one block up from Piedmont Pediatrics.

Common Questions About Your Child’s First Dental Visit

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit around the age of 3. At that age, they are old enough to communicate with our staff and to understand what is going on. That gives us plenty of time to monitor their dental development, as permanent teeth usually don’t begin coming in until age 6 or so.

We’ll give your child a positive introduction to our office and our staff, complete with a prize at the end of their visit. If your child is receptive, we’ll gently clean their teeth – though applying little if any pressure. We’ll also take the time to answer all your questions about your child’s dental development and oral hygiene.

We think the best way to prepare your child for their first dental appointment is to first bring them along with you to some of your routine exams and cleanings. This allows them to get to know our team and become familiar with our comfortable surroundings so they’ll feel at ease at their own exam.
