When-should-you-take-your-child-for-their-first-dental-check-up

When should you take your child for their first dental check-up?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit occur around the time their first tooth appears, typically around 6 months old. This may seem young for a dental visit, however your baby’s teeth are very important to their overall healthy development. Baby teeth are small, so little issues can become big problems very quickly so we recommend an early visit so we can catch little issues early when simple changes can correct them.

PLEASE NOTE: If you’re child is older and never been to the dentist, don’t be concerned. It is never too late to have your first dental visit. Schedule your child today and get them started on a lifetime of great oral health and a beautiful, healthy smile.

Great experience. New patient. I'm not a fan of dentist offices (child of the 80s with bad dentist office childhood baggage), but these folks are good people and I like what I've experienced so far. Lastly, I didn't feel judged for not having found a new dentist almost 2 years after moving into town. That's huge for me.

What a great group! Office is so clean and inviting! They get you in and out. So personable and friendly. We had to switch dentists and I’m so glad we did!

I had a bad experience with this dental office. Went in for a tooth removal, which the dentist took out in 30 seconds with his fingers. Then, he charged me $1200, which i paid. I was never informed of what the cost would be until I received the bill. When I reached out to their office to address my concerns, they told me that they charge every customer the same prices per insurance, but I didn't use insurance, paid out of pocket. Although not everyone needs the same amount of attentiveness for their care. Absolutely, I do not recommend this place. Their priority is the dollars when it should be the customer. T. Mccarty

This is the best dental place that I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is cozy and every staff member was so inviting and helpful with everything that I needed. I highly recommend this business! Would rate 1 million stars if I could.

Dr. Ryan is very personable. I like his sense of humor. He always made sure I was doing okay when he was working on me. The only flaw is he's a Michigan fan, but can't not like him for that. Lol!!!
