Get Started

Infant dental exams are designed to monitor the development of your child’s teeth, gums, and other oral structures. These exams typically begin around your child’s first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early dental visits help identify potential issues, prevent decay, and familiarize your child with the dental office in a positive way.
At Longhorn Dental, our thoughtful family dentistry team creates a welcoming, child-friendly environment to ensure infants and parents feel comfortable. We focus on education, prevention, and building a foundation for lifelong oral health.
Our infant exams are tailored to your child’s age and specific needs.
Each visit is designed to be short, positive, and stress-free.
When should my baby first see a dentist?
We recommend scheduling their first dental visit by age one or when they get their first tooth.
Are infant dental exams necessary?
Yes. Early exams help prevent dental issues and establish healthy habits.
How often should my child have dental checkups?
Most children benefit from dental visits every six months, depending on their oral health needs.
