Early Dental Visits for Healthy Smiles

Did you know your child should see a pediatric dentist by their first birthday? At Simply Kids Dental in Colorado Springs, we ensure early visits help protect your child's smile now and in the future.

AAPD and ADA’s recommendations

First visit by first birthday: A child should visit the pediatric dentist within six months of the first tooth eruption or by age one. Early examination and preventive care will protect your child's smile. Your child’s first dental visit should occur after the first tooth appears, but no later than the first birthday.

Preparing for Your Kid's First Visit

Ease your child's first dental visit by talking about it positively and reading them books about dental visits. Practice opening their mouths. We make the experience fun and stress-free for you and your kid.

What to Expect During the Visit

Your kid can sit comfortably on your lap as our dentist checks their teeth and jaw development. We ensure a gentle exam and offer tips for daily care. It's normal for kids to wiggle or cry a bit. We are here to support you!

Tips for a Smooth Dental Appointment

Schedule your child's visit when they're well-rested and have had a light meal.

Have your child brush their teeth before the visit.

Think of the appointment as a fun adventure.
