The First Visit
Kid-Friendly Care.
Whether your child is an infant or an adolescent, their first dental visit will be short and may involve little treatment. In this way, your child meets the dentist in a friendly and non-threatening way – with you right at their side.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
We work hard to provide your child with Kid-Friendly pediatric dental care. That gives parents peace-of-mind as their children learn that dental visits and good dental habits can be stress free and fun.
During the first visit, Dr. Gjebre will:
🏀 Check existing teeth for decay
🏀 Examine your child’s bite
🏀 Look for any problems with gums, jaw, and oral tissues
🏀 Discuss the steps of program to prevent future dental problems
🏀 Discuss developmental issues such as teething or getting “grown-up” teeth
🏀 Listen closely to your concerns and answer all your questions
