At your child's first dental visit, the dentist will examine the teeth for any signs of decay, as well as the orofacial and dental development. Teeth and gums will also be gently cleaned while your child lays in your lap. Risk factors will be discussed and an individual plan will be tailored for your child to best set them up to remain cavity-free and build healthy habits to last a lifetime!
