Cedar Rapids family dentist Dr. Blaine McLaughlin suggests your little one’s first children’s dentistry visit occur by his or her first birthday. You may bring your child in for a visit earlier if you have concerns or several teeth have already erupted, but year one is fairly standard for a first pediatric dentistry visit.

If you are ready to bring your child in for his or her first dental visit, please call 319-373-5082 to schedule an appointment today.

Why Early Visits Matter

Early life family dentistry appointments serve three primary purposes:

• They allow Dr. McLaughlin to ensure development is progressing normally
• They allow us to provide you with information about properly caring for your child’s teeth
• They help your child become comfortable with dental visits, guarding against dental phobia and anxiety as he or she ages

Ours is a comfortable, safe, and inviting family dentistry practice where children are encouraged to take active steps in protecting the health of their smile. We work directly with both children and parents to provide a rewarding experience that sets the course for a lifetime of strong, healthy, and beautiful teeth.
