Your Child’s First Visit

Dr. Sun and her team are dedicated to great dental experiences.

We, along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend you bring your child in by his or her first birthday.

During your first visit, you will meet our dedicated pediatric dental team and discuss your concerns for your child. A parent or guardian accompanies the child throughout the visit. We will review tips for keeping teeth healthy, sleeping and eating habits, and typically clean the teeth at this appointment. Then, Dr. Sun will join you at the end for a thorough exam to assess for decay and abnormalities, complete a pediatric airway screening and growth assessment. We will complete your visit by discussing any remaining questions you may have.

We will email you our first visit forms and ask that you complete them prior to arriving for your appointment. This helps our office keep your and everyone else’s  scheduled visit on time.

Your initial exam will last approximately 30-40 minutes. Oral hygiene instructions will also be given with suggestions to help your child care for their teeth. In most cases, we will also clean their teeth on this visit, and provide an evaluation that will outline any existing dental problems and proposed treatment.
