3 Benefits of a First Dental Visit

It's normal for parents to feel apprehensive about their child's first dental visit. That's why our dental team encourages you to ask any questions that come to mind. Our hope is that by giving you the information you need, you can confidently decide if you'd like to move forward with our services. Some of the benefits of bringing your child in for their first visit with our Huntington pediatric dentist include:

  1. Early Detection of Issues: Your child's smile is in a constant state of change. From baby teeth falling out to the growth of their jawbone, it's crucial that you have a trained professional to monitor their smile's development. By bringing your child in for their initial appointment, you improve the chances of us detecting dental issues before they become significant problems.
  2. Getting Used to the Dentist: A lifetime of good oral health habits starts during childhood. That's why our team is here to help your child get familiarized with visiting the dentist. With each appointment, we prioritize helping your child feel less anxious than the last until they feel comfortable and confident visiting our team.
  3. Preventing Future Complications: Our dental practice takes a proactive approach to your child's oral health. By bringing them in for their first dental visit, our team will work to improve and protect your child's smile. You can breathe easy knowing that Dr. Felline and his team will help prevent complications like tooth decay.

Gauging Your Child's Oral Health

When you bring your son or daughter in for their first appointment, our team will start by conducting a comprehensive oral exam. Our staff will break down the entire process using kid-friendly language so that your child doesn't feel like we're rushing them through it. By using various forms of technology, like x-ray imaging, we can get a clear understanding of your child's smile, including its condition.

Our skilled dental team will then ask you various questions about your child's smile, including their history and diet. From there, our pediatric dentist will determine which of our dental services is right for them. We'll provide you with your child's personalized treatment plan which details our recommended treatments and what areas of their smile need the most attention. We encourage you to ask questions about their plan, as we can change it at any time.

Providing You & Your Child with Education

One of the best reasons to bring your child in for their first dental visit is that we provide in-depth oral health education. It's important to note that our instructions are aimed at your child and you, as they'll look to you for guidance away from our office. By helping your child understand the importance of brushing, flossing, and controlling the types of foods they eat, you help prepare them later in life.

Some of the instructions we'll provide you and your child cover:

  • Properly brushing and flossing their teeth
  • Avoiding foods and drinks that can cause tooth decay
  • What to expect in the next year or two
  • How to prevent your child sucking their thumb
  • Creating an oral care routine that resonates with children
