Introducing our complimentary
JUMPSTART Program
Our JUMPSTART program is a complimentary exam for toddlers less than 24 months old. In response to the increasing incidence of dental decay in younger children, our JUMPSTART program is designed to create a welcoming, supportive initial experience for children at an early age.
Both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that children visit a dentist by age one. Our JUMPSTART program encourages new parents to follow through on this recommendation by providing a dental exam and consultation with one of our Pediatric Dentists for children under the age of 24 months. We will identify early signs of dental decay, provide tips for oral care, and address toddler habits.
There is no fee and no obligation to continue as a patient in our practice.
First dental visits for babies are less clinical and more educational. Think of this first visit as a "well baby check" for your child's teeth. We will review brushing techniques and let you know if you need to floss your baby's teeth.
We may ask you to hold your baby in your lap for the first exam. Plan to be in our office for approximately 30 minutes.
By establishing a relationship early with us, a surprise visit will not seem as scary for your child and you will not be frantically scrambling to find a dentist after-hours should an emergency arise.
You can make your child's first visit enjoyable and positive. Tell your child in advance that they will be meeting some nice grownups that will help them take care of their teeth. For younger children, try reading some children's books before your visit or have fun role-playing, acting like you or your child are the dentist.
Our pediatric dentists make dental exams a breeze, even for the littlest ones.
The Lap Exam: a gentle and comforting way to introduce your toddler to dental care.
Lap Exams help us detect any oral health issues early on, so you can give your toddler the best possible start.
