Kid Dentistry FAQs

Our recommendation is that you make an appointment with DC Dental Spa when your child gets his or her first tooth or by the time he or she turns one.

We usually keep the first visit short and simple for children. Your child’s DC Dental Spa dentist will get to know your child and provide you with some dental care information. The dentist will check the health and placement of your child’s teeth and examine the mouth for potential jaw and gum problems. The dentist may do some cleaning, and he or she will answer all of your questions about child tooth development and teaching your child good dental habits.

Keep a positive attitude before you bring your child to the dentist for the first time. Show your child our website and look at pictures of our office and staff together, talk about the importance of dental health and remind your child that the dentist is a helper.

Children, like adults, should see the dentist for regular checkups twice each year.
