GENERAL & FAMILY DENTISTRY IN SOUTH SEATTLE, WA

At Rainier Ave Dentistry in South Seattle, one of the most common questions we encounter is when to schedule a child’s first dental appointment. The general guideline is that it’s typically best to arrange their initial visit by their first birthday. A practical rule of thumb is to make the appointment when your baby’s first tooth emerges. Although there might not be extensive cleaning needed at this stage, our dental experts at Rainier Ave Dental Offices can offer invaluable guidance on maintaining your child’s dental health right from the beginning.

Prioritizing preventive dental care can safeguard your child’s smile in the present and for the future. Moreover, this inaugural visit serves to familiarize both you and your child with the dental environment. At Rainier Ave Dental, we place a strong emphasis on ensuring every dental patient feels at ease in the dental chair.

Dr. Jiyon and Dr. Sang Kim DDS, the dentists at Rainier Ave Dental, are parents themselves and are particularly skilled at working with young children.
