We recommend the first visit around age 1 or when the first tooth appears.
My child is nervous — how do you handle that?
We take a gentle, patient approach to introductions. We never rush, always explain what comes next, and take breaks whenever they're needed.
At what age do children need X-rays?
We typically start taking X-rays around age 4–6, depending on tooth development and individual risk factors.
