Where Young Smiles Matter
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child see a dentist no later than his/her first birthday. That's because your child’s early experiences at the dentist will set their attitude toward dental care for the rest of their life. That’s why it’s essential for your child to have positive, comfortable dental visits during these impressionable years. Dr. Dallin Young and our pediatric dental team know the important role we’ll play in your child’s life, and take that responsibility very seriously.
We understand that some children are scared about seeing a dentist. They may have heard frightening stories from friends or through media. Being in a new environment with unfamiliar equipment and sounds can be worrisome, too. So we’ll talk with your child about dental care. We’ll give them a tour of the practice, explain what the different instruments do and why they’re important. And before any kind of treatment, we’ll show your child what will happen and tell them what to expect. By making the dental experience become familiar, your child will relax and feel more comfortable.
