Set Your Child Up For a Healthy Smile

Dr. Miller and our staff love helping kids get the dental care they need. We’ll treat your little one with the utmost care and respect, just like we would any other patient. Healthy smiles begin with early treatment and preventive care, so we agree with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry – you should bring your child to the dentist after their first tooth appears, or by age 1.

Your child’s initial dental visit will be what we call a “happy visit.” We’ll take a look inside their mouth to check for any obvious problems with their teeth or gums, plus we’ll give you tips on how to brush their teeth and help keep their mouth healthy. As more teeth come through, keeping up a good brushing routine will become increasingly important, as healthy baby teeth help ensure that their adult teeth come through with no problems.

Your Toddler Will Love Our Care, Too

Your toddler will enjoy a brief tour of our office to see some of the tools we use to keep their teeth healthy. We’ll introduce them to our staff and make them feel right at home. As they get older, their visits with us will more closely resemble a routine dental exam and cleaning. We offer your toddler:

• A prize from our “treasure chest” as a reward for a completed visit
• Ceiling-mounted TVs and headphones so they can watch cartoons or a favorite show
• Air abrasion, which allows us to treat small cavities without a drill or anesthesia

Your child’s first dental visit in Murrells Inlet is an important part of their oral health. Call us today at 843-491-5353 to schedule their appointment.
