Their First Appointment - We recommend their first appointment to be around their first birthday. This first visit is called a "happy visit" and there is no fee. We take this opportunity to look in the child's mouth and also share helpful information and tips on keeping your child's mouth healthy right from the start. This is also a great opportunity to ask us any questions that you have.

Age 2-4 - we recommend to see your child once a year until they turn 4, at which time, we begin the regular six month interval. If certain conditions are identified in the early visits we may recommend they be seen every six months.

A Dental Tip - to avoid early oral developmental problems and decay, it is always good to ween from bottle and/or pacifier at or near one year of age. It is also important, for the months when they are using a bottle, to never allow them to fall asleep with a bottle or sippee cup in their mouth in bed. This is the leading cause of early decay in young children.

Age 4-18 - For your convenience we offer the forms you will need online at the link above labeled "Patient Forms". You can email those ahead to appointments@gvdentistry.com or bring those with you, completed, for your child's appointment.
If your child is a new patient between these ages, they will see the dental hygienist and the dentist for their initial visit and typically will have their teeth cleaned at this appointment.

For the convenience of families - Glen Valley appreciates how busy families can be, so we provide 3 hygienist Monday - Thursday to schedule your children at the same time. We have before and after school appointments available as well.
