At Smilo Family Dental, a toddler’s first dental appointment is designed to be efficient and stress-free, respecting the child’s limited attention span.

The duration of the visit is broken down as follows:

• The hands-on exam: The clinical portion typically lasts only about 15 to 30 minutes. During this time, the dentist performs a knee-to-knee exam, counts the child’s teeth, and may apply a fluoride varnish.
• The entire appointment: When including the initial check-in, the parent-child interview, and the follow-up discussion regarding home care and education, you should plan for the total visit to last approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Our team works efficiently to ensure the experience is thorough and informative without making you or your child feel rushed.
