We love little ones at the Ranch.

It's our first opportunity to show them a taste of the place where smiles run free and fun is always on the menu.

AT WHAT AGE DO I BRING MY CHILD TO THE DENTIST?

We begin Infant Exams between12 to18 months of age. This follows the guideline set by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). We see children earlier to make sure we get their dental health started off on the right foot. This visit is all about prevention, and we will give parents all the latest and best information on how to properly care for your child's teeth.
