What can I expect?
During these toddler years, your child’s smile is growing fast, and so is their personality at the dental chair! This is a crucial time for regular dental visits to monitor development, catch cavities early, and reinforce healthy habits.
We focus on teaching proper brushing, checking for signs of tooth decay, and evaluating bite and jaw growth. Positive experiences at this age help your child feel comfortable at the dentist while building habits that support a lifetime of healthy smiles.
