Your child’s first appointment at the dentist is an important milestone for their smile and will influence their future feelings about dental care. At Weeder Pediatric Dentistry, we are committed to doing all we can to help children feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment they come through our office doors. We have an on-deck play area and iPads that children enjoy while they wait for their appointment, and we offer TV entertainment for during treatment. Our friendly team is dedicated to creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere that helps children feel at ease throughout their visit.
A Comprehensive First Visit
Your child’s first visit to our office will likely include a thorough oral exam, including digital X-rays, a gentle dental cleaning and a brief fluoride treatment. Our team will check the development of your child’s smile and look for cavities, tumors and missing or crooked teeth. We understand that a visit to the dentist can feel new and sometimes intimidating, so we take extra care to explain what’s happening in a friendly, easy-to-understand way. We will also help your child familiarize themselves with their surroundings at our office so that they feel comfortable and confident for future visits.
Building a Foundation for Healthy Smiles
At Weeder Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that positive early dental experiences build a foundation for healthy smiles throughout life. Our team has experience helping children feel relaxed while we care for their teeth, and we look forward to accommodating your child’s unique needs and personality. Before their child’s visit, we encourage parents to avoid over-explaining dental services and treat their upcoming appointment naturally and casually, focusing on the fun and positive aspects of the visit.
