What To Expect At Your Child’s First Visit

When visiting Smile Buds, you can always expect a compassionate, enjoyable experience for your entire family. As a local Los Angeles dentist, we love getting to meet new families and introducing little ones to a life of fun, informative dental care. Here’s what you can expect at your child’s first visit.

The Appointment Process

Exam

Dr. Anna will first carefully take a look at your child’s teeth and gums and conduct necessary x-rays to ensure their oral health is on the right track and free of any dental issues.

Cleaning

During your child’s first appointment, our dental assistant will perform a gentle, yet thorough preventive cleaning to promote a happy, healthy grin.

Treatment Plan

After their preventive treatments, Dr. Anna will discuss your little one’s oral health. If your kiddo is interested in orthodontics, Dr. Sia will recommend a tailored orthodontic treatment plan made just for their smile success.
