A child’s first dental visits can shape how they feel about oral care for the rest of their life. At Above the Gate Dentistry, we believe in giving every child a positive introduction to the dentist in a setting that feels safe, friendly, and welcoming.
In the video with this post, Dr. Tuttle explains that our office is designed to care for patients of all ages. We are happy to see young children, often starting around age 4. From grandparents to toddlers, we enjoy caring for the whole family under one roof.
Bringing children in at a young age helps them become comfortable with the sights and sounds of the dental office. When visits begin before there is a problem, kids can learn that dental care is simple and nothing to fear.
Early appointments allow us to:
When children only come in because something hurts, it can make dental care feel stressful. By contrast, routine visits focused on prevention show them that the dentist is here to help.
We’ll establish a relationship your child can rely on for years to come. When kids feel supported, they are more likely to maintain healthy habits and continue regular dental visits as adults.
If your child is ready for a positive introduction to the dentist, we would love to welcome your family to Above the Gate Dentistry. Schedule an appointment and let us help your child start a lifetime of confident, comfortable dental care.Call 916-656-0050 for Diamond Hills, CA and 916-299-8983 for El Dorado Hills.
