At Haas Dental, we make sure you and your children feel right at home. Our family dentists aim to make your child's first dental visit fun and painless, helping them avoid dental anxiety and encouraging good oral habits.

To reduce anxiety, we offer entertainment like children's TV shows and a koi pond where kids can feed the fish. After each appointment, children can choose a prize from our treasure box.

For those with dental anxiety, we use nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) to ensure comfort.

When to Schedule the First Dental Visit?

We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit around age 3. This initial appointment helps your child become comfortable with our office environment and involves minimal treatment, typically a gentle exam, possible X-rays, and a fluoride application. Parents are encouraged to sit in the dental chair with their child, helping to build trust and a positive connection with our team.

Preparing Your Child for Their First Visit

• Taking a "preview" tour of the office or showing them our online tour
• Reading books about visiting the dentist
• Speaking positively about your own dental experiences

Tips for Keeping Your Child's Smile Healthy

• Brush & floss daily
• Use fluoride toothpaste
• Avoid sugary snacks and drinks
• Don't suck your thumb!
• Visit the dentist regularly
