Frequently asked questions

At what age should I take my child for the first time?

Ideally when first tooth erupts, generally at 6 months, or at most by age 1. The earlier, the better for prevention and adaptation.

What to bring to first appointment?

Bring vaccination card, child's documents, and if available, previous exams or x-rays. For babies, bring comfort object if necessary.

Does the first appointment hurt?

No! The first appointment is only for acquaintance and visual examination. We don't perform invasive procedures, only evaluation and guidance.

What if my child cries or doesn't cooperate?

It's completely normal, especially in young children. Our team is trained in child behavioral management and we work at the child's pace, gradually creating positive experience.
