A child’s first dental visit sets the tone for a lifetime of healthy habits and confident smiles. At Sullivan Dental Center, our dentists and team understand how important it is to make this experience enjoyable and stress-free for both you and your child. From the moment your family walks in, we focus on creating a safe, friendly and supportive environment.
During the first visit, we gently introduce your child to the dental chair, tools and overall process. This early introduction helps reduce fear, builds trust and lays the foundation for future care. Our team works at your child’s pace and answers all your questions so you feel fully supported. We also take time to educate parents about healthy routines at home. From brushing and flossing tips to nutritional guidance, we are here to make sure your child’s smile stays strong and bright.
What Happens During the First Visit
Our dentists will perform a gentle exam to check your child’s teeth, gums and bite. Depending on their age, we may also clean the teeth and apply a preventive treatment. If any concerns are found, we will explain them clearly and walk you through all next steps.
We keep things simple, calm and child focused. This visit is as much about creating comfort and familiarity as it is about oral health. You are welcome to stay with your child throughout the appointment. We encourage open communication and want every family to feel informed and confident in their care.
