The practice is committed to making dental visits as comfortable as possible for children of all ages. For infants, they follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation for a first dental visit by age one, focusing on growth and development assessment and parental guidance on at-home care. For toddlers and preschoolers, they utilize lap-to-lap or knee-to-knee examinations with parent involvement, understanding that full cooperation may not always be feasible.
