Pediatric Dentistry

During your child’s initial visit, here’s what to expect:

• You child will have some simple dental x-rays taken, if necessary.
• We’ll review your child’s medical history and examine his/her mouth, teeth, and gums.
• Your child’s growth & development will be evaluated.
• We will clean your child’s teeth and apply a fluoride treatment.
• Recommendations will be given to ensure your child receives adequate fluoride at home to guard against decay.
• Treatment recommendations will be given, depending on severity and need.

Fun and stress-free dental visits for kids

We strive to make your child’s first dental visit stress-free and fun. Special prizes are given to children after their visit to encourage & motivate them toward better dental health. We also offer several fun flavors of toothpaste and fluoride, including mint, bubblegum, strawberry, orange, and peach.

Some First Dental Visit Tips

• Speak positively about your dental experiences, avoiding anxiety-causing words.
• Instill good dental habits at home, such as cleaning and flossing, which gives a good example for your child to follow
• Take your child for an online tour to alleviate the sense of gloom & mystery
• Read a few articles regarding dental procedures or bring them along to your routine dental checkup so that it’s not foreign to them at their appointment time.

These small steps can have a positive impact during the first visit of your child. At Dentist Chino Hills, we strive to make your child’s first visit exciting and memorable. Call us today at 909-310-2051 to schedule an appointment.
