When to bring a child for the first time
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises a first visit by the first tooth and no later than the first birthday. An early visit is a chance to see how the teeth are coming in and to talk about brushing, bottles and snacks while habits are still forming.
Who may bring your child
Before treatment, a parent or legal guardian gives written consent. If another adult brings your child with your signed authorization, that adult stays in the room.
What to bring
Ask the front desk about your plan. If your child has seen a dentist before, ask the front desk how to send earlier records.
If a tooth is injured
If this is a medical emergency, call 911. If your child knocks out or breaks a tooth, call 786-320-5445 right away; if no one answers, go to the nearest emergency room. Our tooth-injury page has the steps for an adult tooth, a baby tooth, pain and swelling.
How to book
Bookings open closer to the date; ask the front desk at 786-320-5445. The parents’ guide is a printable checklist of what to bring and who may bring your child.
