A Milestone to Remember: Just like the first step or the first word, a child’s initial trip to the dentist is a significant milestone in their growing journey.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental appointment by the age of one.
At Lansdowne Pediatric Dentistry, we transform this visit into a delightful introduction to oral health. With a gentle touch, colorful surroundings, and a team that speaks the language of kids, we ensure those tiny teeth and curious minds receive the warmest welcome. Starting on a positive note paves the way for a lifelong friendship with dental care.
We explain everything in kid friendly language. The exam itself is very gentle. Dr. Sheyda will count their teeth, check how everything is growing, look at the gums, and evaluate things like bite, spacing, and oral development. For many first visits, it’s more of a ‘ride along’ experience. We want them to leave feeling successful and proud, even if we don’t complete every step.
