Dr. Joby Hurst, founder of Hurst Pediatric Dentistry, has over 25 years of experience in pediatric dental care. With the new guide, he wants to communicate the significance of creating a positive first experience.
“The first dental visit is an opportunity to set the foundation for a child’s oral health. We aim to make it welcoming and stress-free for both parents and children,” said Dr. Hurst.
The guide suggests that a child’s first visit to the dentist should take place by their first birthday. At this age, baby teeth begin to emerge, and early visits allow the dentist to check for proper development, identify potential concerns, and offer guidance to parents on oral hygiene practices.
Baby teeth play a critical role in speech development, proper chewing, and guiding permanent teeth into the correct positions. Early care ensures these functions are supported while preventing minor issues from becoming larger problems.
The guide outlines the steps parents can expect during their child’s first dental visit. The dentist will examine the child’s teeth, gums, and jaw to ensure proper growth and development. They will discuss effective brushing techniques and dietary habits with parents to promote healthy teeth and gums. Common concerns like thumb-sucking, teething, and baby bottle tooth decay will also be addressed.
The guide also highlights the broader benefits of early dental visits. Regular visits allow the dentist to monitor oral development and catch alignment or bite issues early, making interventions easier and more effective.
To create a welcoming environment, Hurst Pediatric Dentistry uses brightly colored tools, playful explanations, and small rewards like stickers to ensure children associate the visit with positive memories.
