What Parents Are Saying
What Happens During Your Child’s First Dental Visit?
- Review of Dental and Medical History
- We’ll discuss your child’s dental and health background, including any concerns you may have. Understanding your child’s needs allows us to provide personalized care.
- Comprehensive Dental Examination
- A thorough assessment of your child’s teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures is conducted to check for signs of decay, gum health issues, or developmental concerns. If needed, digital X-rays will be taken to get a detailed view of their oral health.
- Professional Cleaning
- Our hygienist will clean your child’s teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup, leaving their smile fresh and polished. This step helps prevent cavities and promotes healthy gums.
- Oral Hygiene Demonstration
- We take the time to teach proper brushing and flossing techniques in a fun and engaging way, ensuring your child knows how to care for their teeth at home. For younger children, we guide parents on how to assist with daily oral hygiene.
- Diet and Nutrition Counseling
-
We’ll discuss dietary habits that support strong teeth and gums while addressing any questions about cavity prevention through healthy food choices.
- Treatment Plan (if necessary)
-
If any dental issues are identified, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan and explain all options to you. Our goal is to ensure your child receives the care they need in a way that works best for your family.
When Fillings Are Needed for Baby Teeth
- Prevents Extensive Breakage: Avoids the need for more complex treatments like crowns.
- Preserves Tooth Function: Ensures the primary tooth stays in place until the permanent tooth erupts.
- Blends Naturally: Composite fillings are tooth-colored and can be closely matched to your child’s natural teeth, making them ideal for visible areas of the mouth.
These durable fillings are designed to last for years with proper care, helping your child maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.
How to Prepare for Your Child’s First Visit
To ensure your child’s first visit is a positive one:
- Talk About the Dentist: Explain what to expect in simple, reassuring terms. Let them know we’re here to help keep their teeth clean and healthy.
- Bring Comfort Items: A favorite toy or blanket can help make your child feel more at home.
- Arrive Early: Arriving a few minutes ahead of time allows you to complete paperwork and helps your child settle in.

We believe that successful dental care is built on a strong partnership between parents, children, and our team. At Pediatric Dental Specialists of Hiram, we’re here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide guidance every step of the way.
