Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see a dentist?

Can parents stay with their child during the visit?
Absolutely. Parental involvement isn’t just allowed, it’s encouraged. You’re welcome in the treatment area so you can see what’s happening, ask questions, and help your child feel safe. Families do best when they’re part of the care.
