Your Child’s First Dental Visit
The need for regular dental care starts as soon as teeth appear. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that parents take their child to the dentist as soon as the first tooth appears, usually between 6 and 12 months. Are you looking for a pediatric dentist in Falls Church or surrounding areas (McLean, Vienna, Arlington, Tysons, Reston, Annandale)?
Dr Toothfairy Pediatric Dentistry is the perfect place to go! Our friendly staff are here to make sure your child’s first visit is special. We’ll make your child feel comfortable and safe while ensuring that they receive the best dental care possible. Our office has everything you need to make sure your child’s teeth stay healthy!
The first dental visit is important & special
It’s important because it helps us learn more about your child’s teeth so we can help them stay strong and healthy. It’s special because it’s your child’s opportunity to have a great first experience at the dentist–which is the best way to begin a lifetime of great oral health and hygiene. It also gives parents an opportunity to ask questions and learn how to care for their child’s teeth.
The benefits of oral health & hygiene
It is especially important to take care of a child’s teeth and to help them learn about good oral health and hygiene. That’s what we do at Dr Toothfairy. Regular visits to the pediatric dentist have many benefits, such as preventing cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and other dental problems. Regular checkups with a pediatric dentist can also help your child have healthy teeth for life!
