At Morris Plains Center for Dentistry, we welcome kids of all ages and are committed to making their first visits positive and stress-free.
A Lifelong Foundation for Dental Health
These early visits serve multiple important purposes. First, they allow Dr. Bagley to check your child's oral development and ensure everything is progressing normally. He'll gently examine existing teeth, gums, bite, and jaw development.
Early appointments also help children become comfortable with dental visits before they require treatment. Your child can meet our friendly team, explore the dental chair, and learn that the dentist's office is a safe, helpful place.
Your Child's First Dental Visit
Dr. Bagley will demonstrate proper cleaning techniques specifically for your child's age. He'll also provide guidance on:
- Preventing baby bottle tooth decay
- Proper use of pacifiers and thumb-sucking habits
- Teething management and relief strategies
- Age-appropriate nutrition for healthy teeth
