Finding a GOOD Dentist

Finding a good dentist for your kids is REALLY important....I remember DREADING the dentist and now my kids go every six months with bells on, they LOVE it!

Children typically begin seeing a dentist around age 3 (unless issues arise earlier)
Find a great dentist early as some have waiting lists. Locate a pediatric dentistry office - they have many tricks of the trade to perform filling with little discomfort!
Ask around - your friends may recommend one to you
Contact your insurance company, or pediatrician for referrals

Check out the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry for valuable tips! Happy Smiles!

Thanks for this post! I would also add, when you are making the first appointment, to make sure to ask what their policy is on letting a parent in during the visit. some pedi dentist offices have a strict policy that parents must wait in the waiting room. I feel like there is no way I'm going to let my 3 yr old have a procedure done without me there. So I called around and found a family dentist with a much more lenient policy.
