Yes! We’re currently welcoming new patients under the age of 14.
How can I prepare my child for their first appointment?

In most cases, yes. Many dentists encourage parents to accompany their child to help them feel secure and comfortable.
How long does the first visit take?
Usually, it lasts between 30–45 minutes, depending on your child’s comfort level and whether any treatment or cleaning is done.

That’s completely normal. Our team is experienced in working with children and creates a calm, supportive environment to help them feel at ease.
