General
We believe that a lifetime of good oral health starts in early childhood!
Your Child's
First Dental Visit
Even though we usually cannot see them, babies are born with a full set of teeth that is embedded in the jaw. Getting that first tooth is an awesome experience, and one that occurs between 6 months and 1 year of age. While this moment is a major milestone, it is important to note that a child is at risk of cavities as soon as their first tooth appears. Due to this, parents often ask when their child should see the dentist for the first time. Ideally, this would occur when their first tooth appears but certainly no later than their first birthday.

Kid-Friendly Dental Practice
At the Dental Arts Center, we are definitely a kid-friendly dental practice! Dr. Eddie Lorents and our staff members are parents themselves and are very patient and caring with children of all ages – from babies to teens!
Baby Teeth Matter
One of the greatest conversations we have with parents about their children's teeth is that baby teeth do indeed matter! Many parents assume that they are not very important, since they will soon fall out and be replaced by permanent adult teeth. However, it is important to be mindful of the fact that baby teeth stick around for many years, and having healthy baby teeth is essential for properly eating and developing speaking skills. Additionally, in order for your child to transition from baby teeth to healthy adult teeth that are properly aligned, ensuring that baby teeth stay in place as long as possible will greatly help with this process and possibly prevent the need for braces. If you are looking for a dentist for your child, please consider bringing them to the Dental Arts Center. We'll ensure that their first experience is fun, effective & enjoyable!
What To Expect On Your Baby's First Dental Visit
When bringing your baby into our office, you can expect a bunch of warm, friendly, and caring faces to greet them and make the experience amazing for both of you! A baby's first visit is pretty quick and essentially gets them comfortable in a dental chair and with dental staff - which prepares them to have a lifetime of positive, routine dental cleanings and wellness exams! Most babies will sit in their parent's lap at their first appointment while our dentist will take a gentle look around in their mouth to ensure there are no cavities or dental issues. During this time, we will also discuss dental care for baby so that you can be sure you're doing everything at home to keep their mouth healthy!

From Babies To Teens
As a father, I really love the opportunity to make dental experiences positive for kids. A lot of dental anxiety and phobias start from negative childhood experiences at the dentist, so we go above and beyond to ensure that your child's experience is a very fun and enjoyable one. We wouldn't have it any other way for our own kids!
