Pediatric Dentistry

At Madison Family Dental, we look forward to meeting the dental needs of your entire family. We realize that all children are unique and strive to provide the best pediatric dentistry possible for your child.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dental Association recommend your child visit the dentist around their 1st birthday, or within six months of the eruption of their first tooth. While children this age typically do not need a traditional dental cleaning, our Baby Wellness Program allows parents to come in for an initial appointment to meet with the dentist and provide an opportunity for them to gain a better understanding of their child’s oral health needs.
Please keep in mind that young children often do better with morning appointments when they are well rested and have had breakfast. We offer a full range of services to even our youngest dental patients. Our hope is to provide your child with positive dental experiences and a lifetime free from preventable oral disease.
Important habits that will help contribute to your child’s oral health

Water is best in a sippy cup for your child during the day.
