When should a child first see an orthodontist?
A child’s first orthodontic consultation should ideally occur around age seven.
As pediatric dentists and orthodontists, our mission at First Impressions is to provide specialized, comprehensive oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs, delivered in a state of the art, child-friendly environment. We want to ensure that children of all ages enjoy a lifetime of healthy habits along with a healthy smile.
At First Impressions, we recognize that no two children are alike. We approach each patient individually, identifying and addressing your child’s specific needs, fears, and personalities.
Pediatric dentists make dental care fun and comfortable which can create a lifetime of good oral health habits. It begins the moment you step through our doors. Our office atmosphere is inspired by children and we intentionally designed our dental offices to incorporate elements that children relate to and understand. Things like bright colors, fun textures, a play yard, video games, cartoons, books, TV programs, kid-sized equipment, and friendly faces help ease your child’s fears and apprehensions.
Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child goes to the dentist by age 1 or within six months after the first tooth erupts.
In most cases, our initial appointment will be for examination only. Depending on the age of your child, a cleaning, fluoride treatment and x-rays may also be done. If dental treatment is necessary, a treatment plan will be discussed with you. No restorative work will be done at the first appointment.
Providing cost savings and simplifying payments for our patients without dental insurance.
