Older Child Exam and Cleaning
- Happy Visits: For children 6mo-3yo
- Child Examination and professional cleaning: For children 3yo-17yo
We recommend your child's 1st dental visit be between their first tooth and their 1st birthday
This establishes routine and helps them become familiar with the environment. We can also screen for early childhood dental conditions and educate for prevention. By the time your child is between 18mo-3yo they will also be ready for a dental cleaning and radiographs.
