First Pediatric Dental Visit at Together Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics
It’s never too early to create healthy habits—and a happy smile! Your child’s first visit to the dentist sets the tone for a lifetime of positive oral health. At our office, we take extra care to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and excited about taking care of their teeth.
A Warm Welcome and Office Tour
As soon as you walk through the door, you and your child will be greeted by our friendly, caring staff. We understand that new experiences can be intimidating for little ones, so we use child-friendly techniques such as:
Tell-Show-Do: We explain each step, demonstrate it on your child’s hand, and then perform it in the mouth.
Positive Reinforcement: We praise and encourage your child throughout the visit to build confidence.
Your child will get to explore the office, see the dental tools up close, and even try out a few “pretend” steps to ease into the experience.
Getting to Know the Team and the Teeth
Once your child feels comfortable, it’s time for a gentle, comprehensive exam. You’ll meet our compassionate dental team, who will guide your child through every step of the process.
During the exam:
We tailor the visit to your child’s age and comfort level.
If needed, we use our low-dose digital imaging system to take safe, high-quality images.
Our goal is to show children that our office is a place where they’re always respected, cared for, and empowered.
One-on-One Time with the Dentist
After the exam, Dr. Roshi Rastegar will sit down with you to review the findings. This part of the visit is essential for laying the foundation of lifelong oral health habits.
Topics your Dr. Rastegar may discuss include:
Healthy nutrition and how it affects growing teeth
Brushing and flossing tips for young children
Any concerns or questions you may have
We believe that parents are partners in oral health. Together, we will design a customized treatment or prevention plan tailored to your child’s specific needs and your family’s preferences.
A Big Smile and a Bigger Reward!
We love celebrating first visits! At the end of the appointment, your child will:
Pick a fun prize from the toy box
Take home a goodie bag filled with dental essentials and surprises
Great job on completing your first dental visit! It’s the beginning of a bright, confident smile.
