Book a visit

First visit

A first visit that feels like a good day.

By the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth. Short, gentle and mostly about getting to know each other.

What happens

  1. 1

    Tell us about your child

    Book online or by phone. There's a box for anything we should plan for: worries, sensory needs, a past hard visit.

  2. 2

    Get ready at home

    Read a dentist book together, play 'count the teeth' with a stuffed animal, and keep your words simple and positive.

  3. 3

    A gentle first visit

    A tour, a ride in the chair, a look at teeth and gums, and a cleaning if your child is ready. You stay the whole time.

  4. 4

    A plan you understand

    What we saw, what to do at home, and when to come back. Plus a sticker, obviously.

Getting your child ready

Small things that make a big difference

  • 1Use simple, positive words: "The dentist will count your teeth." Skip "hurt", "shot" and "drill".
  • 2Read a picture book about going to the dentist in the week before.
  • 3Bring a comfort item: a stuffy, a blanket, headphones or sunglasses.
  • 4Book a time when your child is usually rested and fed. Mornings work well for little ones.
  • 5Tell us what works for your child. You're the expert on them.

What to bring

  • Your insurance card (if you have one)
  • A list of your child's medications and allergies
  • Any recent X-rays from a previous dentist
  • A comfort item
