Children's Dentistry
We want kids to grow up thinking the dentist is no big deal. Visits are short, playful and explained in kid-friendly words, and parents are welcome in the room.
Can help with
- First visits by age one
- Checkups and cleanings
- Cavity prevention and early treatment
- Habits like thumb-sucking
What to expect
Meet and greet
Little ones can sit on your lap while we count teeth and say hello.
Clean and check
A gentle cleaning, a fluoride treatment if needed and a look at how teeth are coming in.
Prize and plan
Kids pick a prize, and parents get simple tips for brushing at home.
Every mouth is different. Your dentist will explain your options, timing and any costs before treatment.
Questions
When should the first visit be?
The American Dental Association recommends a first visit within six months of the first tooth, and no later than the first birthday.
Is my child covered by NJ FamilyCare?
