Look Forward to Your Child’s First Dental Visit in Athens

Every parent wants to give their child all the advantages in life they can. One of the best things you can do for your child is to get them started early with good dental care. That’s why your child’s first dental visit in Athens is so important. It will set the stage for a lifetime of beautiful, healthy smiles. Here are a few good reasons to schedule this first visit at McRae Family Dental:

  • We’ll go at your child’s pace so they feel completely comfortable.
  • Your child will receive a sticker at the end of their appointment.
  • We hold a drawing for a teddy bear once a month.
  • All your questions (and theirs) will be answered fully.
  • They can get a “happy visit” to get them acquainted with the idea of dental care.
  • We’ll give you tips on how to help keep their teeth healthy at home.

Start your child off right with quality dental care – we see kids as young as 2. Call McRae Family Dental today at one of our three area locations. For your convenience, we’re open as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 7 p.m.

Take Care of Your Child’s Smile With Good Dental Care

Taking your child to the dentist for the first time is one of the many milestones you will cross with them. Our team wants to make it as pleasant and memorable as possible for both of you.

Depending on your child, it may be best to have them join you or a sibling at their appointment for a “happy visit.” We can take a quick look at your little one’s developing teeth and make sure there aren’t any obvious problems like cavities. We’ll check to see how well their teeth are getting clean and can work with you on brushing techniques if needed.

We may be able to go more in depth with your child, but it depends on how well they do with the initial look inside their mouth. As they get older, their appointments will look more like your own, with a complete dental exam and teeth cleaning. Our goal is to give your child the best treatment possible so they can maintain a healthy smile for life.

Be sure to schedule your child’s first dental visit in Athens soon. Call one of the three area locations of McRae Family Dental today:

Common Questions About Your Child’s First Dental Visit

At McRae Family Dental, we recommend that children first come to us beginning at age 2. We can perform a “happy visit” to get them acquainted with the idea of coming to the dentist and having someone look inside their mouth. This first visit will also give us a chance to examine their developing teeth and check for any potential problems.

Your child’s first dental visit will be very laid back and relaxed. Rather than a full checkup with a dental cleaning and exam, we will mainly focus on getting your child used to dental care. We’ll give them a brief tour of our office and show them some of the equipment we use to take care of smiles. Then we’ll take a quick look inside their mouth and count their teeth.

Before your child’s first dental visit, take some time to explain to them that it’s important to take good care of their teeth so that their smile remains healthy. You can tell them that the visit will consist of a short tour and meeting our staff members. You might also tell them that they will get a sticker at the end of every completed visit – kids usually love that part.
