At Eastside Pediatric Dentistry in Fairport, NY, we want your child’s first dental visit to be a positive and stress-free experience.

Our team specializes in making young patients feel comfortable from the moment they walk in, helping families throughout Fairport, Rochester, and nearby communities establish healthy oral habits early.


When to Schedule Your Child’s First Dentist Appointment

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early dental visits help:

  • Monitor tooth and jaw development
  • Identify potential issues before they become problems
  • Teach parents how to care for emerging teeth
  • Build comfort and familiarity in a dental setting

If you're looking for a child's dentist near you or a trusted pediatric dentist in Fairport, NY, our experienced team is ready to help your child begin their dental care journey with confidence.

What to Expect During Your Child's First Visit

We believe in creating a welcoming and child-friendly environment from the moment your family arrives. During your child's first appointment, you can expect:

  • A warm introduction: Our team greets each child with friendly smiles and shows you around our creative and kid-focused office spaces. We want children to feel excited, not anxious, about being here.
  • A parent-centered conversation: Before the exam, we discuss your child's health history, habits, and any concerns you may have. This helps us tailor the visit to your child's unique needs.
  • A gentle and thorough exam: Your child will receive a gentle exam and cleaning that focuses on comfort and reassurance. We take our time to ensure each child feels safe, supported, and confident.
  • Clear recommendations and education: After the exam, we review our findings, explain any recommended treatment, and share tips to help your child maintain strong oral health at home. Our goal is for every family to leave feeling informed and prepared.

At Eastside Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that when parents, children, and dentists work together on prevention, kids can enjoy healthy and cavity free smiles for years to come.
