The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child’s first dental visit should occur by their first birthday, or within six months after their first tooth erupts.

This early visit allows us to establish a positive "dental home" for your child. During this initial appointment, we will perform a gentle examination of your child’s teeth and gums, provide guidance on at-home hygiene, and answer any questions you may have about teething, fluoride, or diet. Establishing good habits early is the key to preventing future dental problems.

Your child's comfort is our top priority. Our entire practice is designed to be a welcoming and non-threatening space for children. Our team is specially trained in communicating with children in a positive and reassuring manner. We use the "Tell-Show-Do" technique, where we explain what we are going to do, show them the tools, and then proceed with the treatment.

For children who need extra help relaxing, we offer comfort dentistry options, including nitrous oxide. The TVs in our treatment rooms also provide a great distraction, helping your child have a pleasant and positive experience.

Absolutely. Dr. Simonis and Dr. Matos have extensive training and experience in providing dental care for children with special health care needs, including physical, developmental, and behavioral conditions. We are dedicated to creating a supportive and patient environment for every child.
