Your child’s first dental visit is an exciting milestone – and an important one for building lifelong oral health habits. We make early dental care positive, educational and gentle. Our dentist and team are committed to creating a friendly environment where children feel safe, supported and excited about caring for their smile.
Building Healthy Habits
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling a child’s first dental visit in Worcester, Massachusetts, by their first birthday or when the first tooth appears. Our office focuses on making that first appointment enjoyable and stress-free for both children and parents.
Dr. Harjeet Mundra uses simple language, a kind approach and age-appropriate tools to help your child feel at ease. The visit includes a gentle exam, helpful guidance for at-home care and plenty of encouragement to build comfort and trust.
What to Expect at the First Appointment
At Grace Family Dental, we believe in setting the foundation for a lifetime of good dental habits. During your child’s first dental visit, you can expect:
- A warm welcome and child-friendly atmosphere
- A gentle examination of teeth, gums and jaw development
- Tips on brushing, flossing and diet for dental health
- Monitoring for early signs of decay or development issues
- Answers to parent questions about teething, thumb-sucking and more
- Guidance on when to expect the next set of baby and adult teeth
Our goal is not just to check teeth – it is to create a positive relationship with dentistry from the very start.
