We Provide a Calming Environment For You & Your Child

Our number one priority is making sure you and your child are fully at ease when you visit our office. One thing we’ve found that helps is if you use your own dental cleaning as an opportunity to show your child there’s nothing to be afraid of before they sit down for their own cleaning.

But feel free to leave everything else to us! One of our friendly team members will greet you and your child and introduce you both to the rest of our kid-friendly staff. From there, we’ll give a quick tour of all the cool gadgets and gizmos our state-of-the-art office has to offer.

Our staff members at Dr. James Ross, Family, Cosmetic & Laser Dentistry are not the only ones to notice our kid-friendly atmosphere. We’re proud to have won the Metro Parent magazine’s Mom’s Choice Award from 2015–2021, among our many other honors. Your child’s approval means a lot to us.

Treat your child to dental care that’s as special as they are. Call 248-697-2487 today to schedule an appointment for your child’s first dental visit in Novi! You can also make an appointment online.

Common Questions About Your Child’s First Dental Visit

What will happen at my child’s first dental visit?

At your child’s first dental visit, we’ll gently introduce them to the idea of dental care. We’ll give them a short tour of our office and show them some of the equipment we use every day. They’ll also get a chance to meet some of our staff and interact with them. Then, we’ll do a quick look inside their mouth for any problems. We also have fun games and prizes that your child is sure to love.

How long will my child’s first dental visit take?

For your child’s first dental visit, we like to proceed at a pace they will be comfortable with. After introducing them to our staff and showing them around the office, we’ll look inside their mouth for signs of any obvious problems. All in all, their first appointment should take between half an hour and one hour.

When should I schedule my child’s first dental visit?

We typically see kids beginning at age 2 or 3. To get kids accustomed to the dentist office, we encourage parents to bring kids along with them to their own dental visits or to older siblings’ visits. We frequently give parents advice on their younger children’s oral health before they ever come in for their first appointment.

How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?

One of the best ways to show your child there’s nothing to be afraid of is bringing them to your appointment. They can watch you get a cleaning and you can talk about how wonderful your teeth feel after. There are also several books you can read with your child about visiting the dentist too. Most importantly, avoid any scary language when talking about the dentist and make sure you emphasize how great their teeth will feel.
