First Visit Experience

Your child deserves a dental home where they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Your first visit with us is all about creating positive experiences and building trust – because bright beginnings start with establishing happy, healthy associations with the dentist.


When Should I Start Bringing My Child to the Pediatric Dentist?

At Little Bee’s Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend bringing your child in when their first tooth erupts or by twelve months of age. Early dental visits help establish healthy habits and allow us to identify and treat potential issues before they worsen.


How to prepare:

  • Keep it positive! Tell your child about their exciting dental adventure 
  • Try pretend play at home with stuffed animals to practice
  • Book morning appointments for young children (ages 1-5) when they're fresh and alert 
  • Consider a small reward for their bravery after their appointment

What To Bring ToThe Appointment

We've streamlined everything to make your experience as stress-free as possible. You'll receive all necessary forms electronically before your appointment, letting you complete them from the comfort of home. This means more time for what really matters: helping your child feel excited about their dental adventure!

  • New patient forms
  • Dental insurance card
  • Valid form of ID
  • Your child's favorite toy or blanket
  • List of any questions
