What to Expect at Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Meeting & Greeting the dentist, the hygienist & staff:

The first dental visit is usually short and involves very little treatment.  It gives your child an opportunity to meet the dentist, the hygienist and the staff.   You should expect the dentist or hygienist to do the following:

·   review your child’s medical history

·      respond to your questions and concerns

·      talk about your child’s overall oral health, including: development, teething, bite, oral habits, prevention of tooth decay, and other oral health issues

For more information on the first dental visit for your child, contact Dr. Anna Lee and her team today.

Oral Care for Children & Adults

Your smile is the way you communicate with your friends you are enjoying their company. It is how you tell your boyfriend you want to spend more time with him, and how you communicate to your children they have made you proud. Having a healthy smile can help increase feelings of happiness, hope, as well as open up career options. Here are five tips on how you and your children can improve your overall oral care.

•      Brush the teeth twice a day and preferably within 30-60 minutes after every meal and snack

•      Use fluoride-containing toothpaste

•      Floss daily

•      Use mouth rinse daily

•      Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
