The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child see a dentist no later than his/her first birthday. That's because your child's early experiences at the dentist will set their attitude toward dental care for the rest of their life. That's why it's essential for your child to have positive, comfortable dental visits during these impressionable years.
Dr. Dallin Young and our pediatric dental team know the important role we'll play in your child's life, and take that responsibility very seriously. We understand that some children are scared about seeing a dentist. They may have heard frightening stories from friends or through media. Being in a new environment with unfamiliar equipment and sounds can be worrisome, too.
So we'll talk with your child about dental care. We'll give them a tour of the practice, explain what the different instruments do and why they're important. And before any kind of treatment, we'll show your child what will happen and tell them what to expect.

At Young Smiles Children's Dentistry, we offer two programs for pre-school and elementary school aged children.
These programs are designed to educate children about the importance of proper oral health.
These programs are fun and entertaining for the children but also are successful in teaching oral hygiene and nutrition.
Children will be taught about various topics including teeth, brushing and flossing, healthy eating and snacking, and what they can expect when visiting the dentist.
At the conclusion of each presentation, the children will each be given their own dental goody bag.
