A Positive Start for Little Smiles
We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are short and relaxed, giving your child a chance to meet our team, sit in the chair and get comfortable before any treatment is needed.
As your child grows, we monitor tooth development, protect against cavities and teach brushing and flossing in a way kids understand. Because we are a family practice, parents and children can often be seen on the same day, making scheduling easier for busy Greensboro families.
Preventing Cavities in Children
Baby teeth matter. They hold space for adult teeth and help with speech and chewing. Dental sealants and fluoride treatments add a strong layer of protection to growing teeth and are among the most effective ways to prevent childhood cavities.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
By their first birthday, or within six months after the first tooth comes in.
How can I prepare my child for their visit?
Keep it positive and simple. Avoid words like 'hurt' or 'shot,' and let them know the dentist will count and clean their teeth.
Do baby teeth really need fillings?
Yes. Untreated cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infection and problems for the adult teeth developing underneath.
