Your Child’s First Visit at Tooth Story Pediatric Dentistry
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by the time they have their first tooth or first birthday, whichever comes first. At Tooth Story Pediatric Dentistry, our skilled pediatric dentist makes these early visits fun and comfortable for both you and your little one.

Making First Visits Easy
Your child's first visit is all about creating positive memories! We start with a special office tour, during which your little one can explore our magical dental space. Our pediatric dental team knows just how to turn nervous butterflies into happy giggles.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
First visits are simple, gentle, and fun! We'll start by welcoming you and your child to our office and showing them around. Your child can pick their favorite show and get comfortable in our special dental chair.
During the visit, we'll count teeth, check their smile, and teach fun brushing moves. Dr. Ramolia will look for any early signs of concern and answer all your questions about caring for your child's growing smile. We'll also share tips about healthy eating, pacifier use, and how to prevent cavities.
