About First Dental Visit

I enjoy getting to know my patients and building meaningful relationships. I understand that each person is unique and that they have diverse cultural backgrounds, so I strive to actively listen and empower them to be an advocate for the health and wellness goals that are important to them. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care by providing patient education and practicing evidence-based medicine. I’m passionate about practicing preventive medicine and helping my patients manage acute and chronic health conditions, mental health.

I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears.

The dentist will gently examine your child’s teeth, gums, and bite. They may clean the teeth, check for early signs of decay, and discuss proper brushing, diet, and fluoride use.
How can I prepare my child for their first appointment?
Keep the experience positive! Talk about the dentist as a friend who helps keep teeth healthy. Avoid using words like “hurt” or “pain.” You can also read children’s books about going to the dentist together.

In most cases, yes. Many dentists encourage parents to accompany their child to help them feel secure and comfortable.
How long does the first visit take?
Usually, it lasts between 30–45 minutes, depending on your child’s comfort level and whether any treatment or cleaning is done.
