When Should Your Child See the Dentist for the First Time

By South Charlotte Macaroni Kid/Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry June 18, 2017

Choosing a dentist can be overwhelming, as parents we are looking for a dental practice that we can build a long-term relationship with. Like many other decisions we make, picking a dentist can be difficult but Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry has taken the guess work out of choosing a pediatric dentist in Charlotte

Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry recently added a dental office in South Charlotte near the new Waverly shopping center, the office is just past the shopping center at 11835 Southmore Drive Unit #201. Like the offices in Davidson, Midtown, University, and Gastonia areas, the South Charlotte office is committed to making your child's visit to the dentist a pleasant experience for you and your kids. The new office is bright and happy, the rooms are engaging and have plenty to distract your kiddos from the actual dental cleaning. 




One of my favorite things about the new office are the special rooms set aside to treat patients with special needs. Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry has taken great care to create a space where children with special needs can have their exam in a quiet, less distracting and stimulating environment. The office also offers plenty for kids to do and to keep siblings busy while you're in the room with your other kiddo. Drs. Dunlap and Wilson have created a warm and welcoming dental office in South Charlotte and are now accepting new patients.

There a lot of ‘firsts’ in your child’s life – first smile, first laugh, first word, first step, first tooth, and many more. Each ‘first’ serves as an important milestone!
