First Trip to The Dentist | Family Dental Care

What to Expect On Your First Visit to The Dentist

You can expect a full exam of teeth, jaws, bite, gums, oral tissues to check the growth and development. A gentle teeth cleaning might take place if needed, followed by polishing teeth and removing plaque, tartar and stains. The dentist may conduct a minor tutorial on how to properly use floss and fluoride. We recommend that a child starts to see a dentist by the age of three. However, children can start benefiting from trips to the dentist as soon as their teeth start to appear.

First Dental Exam

Here at LADD Dental Group, we participate in the Head Start Program. This is a free event to the community and anyone in the school who qualifies can attend. Here is a live video of what a quick dental exam looks like. As you can see, we make the dental experience as painless as possible and we make sure that we talk our way through everything that we are going to be doing. We have found that communication and education are the best way to reduce a child's fear of the dentist.

If you are in need of a quality family dentist, you have come to the right place. Give the team at LADD Dental Group a call today, and start smiling with confidence!
