Know What to Expect at Your Child’s First Visit in Rockville

Welcome to Kids Teeth, LLC! We’re excited to begin your little one’s journey toward lifelong dental health. Our practice specializes in caring for children of all ages, from infants getting their very first tooth to teenagers preparing for college. Our helpful guide will prepare you and your child to have a positive first dental visit in Rockville.

Your child’s initial introduction to dentistry shapes their attitude toward oral care throughout their life. We recommend describing the dentist as a friendly doctor who helps keep teeth strong and healthy. The primary focus of our initial visit is education and building trust. During this appointment, we will:

  • Introduce your child to our dental team in a friendly, non-threatening way
  • Provide age-appropriate education about oral health
  • Demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques
  • Discuss nutritional choices that support healthy teeth
  • Address habits like pacifier use or thumb sucking
  • Evaluate your child’s fluoride needs
  • Perform a gentle exam and cleaning (as appropriate for your child’s age)
  • Answer any questions you may have about your child’s dental development

Call 301-383-9831 to schedule their first visit.

We Take a Child-Centered Approach

For our youngest patients, we adapt our approach to ensure comfort and security:

  • Your little one will love our Kids Zone play area.
  • Infants and toddlers can sit in a parent’s lap during their checkup.
  • We sometimes use a knee-to-knee position where the child sits on the parent’s lap and the dentist or hygienist faces you both.
  • All procedures are explained using child-friendly language with our “tell-show-do” technique.
  • Our entire office environment is designed to make dental visits enjoyable rather than stressful.

Please don’t hesitate to contact our office at 301-383-9831 if you have any questions before your visit. We look forward to meeting you and your child and beginning this important health care relationship.
