Other than throwing a colorful kids\u2019 party, compiling essential memorabilia of them from the day they were born up to their first milestone, and taking pictures of their adorable little faces, you probably have been thinking of the best gift to give for your one-year-old child. Why not take them to the dentist?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the American Dental Association, a child\u2019s first dental visit should take place the moment their first tooth erupts or around their first birthday. However, for toddlers, seeing the dentist for the first time might be a scary idea. The different strange dental instruments, loud noises of machinery or drills, and unfamiliar faces can be upsetting for a child. Nevertheless, by preparing them before their dental appointment, a smooth, hassle-free, and fun trip to the dentist can be achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But first things first, before you bring them to your dentist, remember that bringing a child to a non-pediatric dentist might not be a good idea. It is always best to find a dental office that offers Pediatric Dentistry services like us at Dentistry of East Sacramento. We have a kid-friendly environment and staff to make our young patients feel at ease all throughout the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26\" title=\"Pediatric Dentistry\" src=\"https:\/\/dentistryofeastsacramento.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pediatric.png\" alt=\"Pediatric Dentistry\" width=\"482\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Expect?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give parents a hint on what to expect during their child\u2019s first dental visit, we listed down some few things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, everything will start with a \u201cmeet and greet\u201d session.
