The first dental visit is a significant milestone in your child’s oral health journey. Early visits provide an opportunity for a professional evaluation of your child’s dental development and allow you to establish a positive relationship with our dentists and team. This initial appointment lays the foundation for lifelong healthy habits and helps your child develop confidence when visiting the dentist.
What to Expect During the Visit
When you arrive at Dynamic Dentistry AZ, our team will greet you and your child. You will be asked to provide a detailed health history and discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child’s oral habits, diet or general development. Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains or Dr. Eric Mack will then perform a gentle examination of your child’s teeth and gums. During this examination, emerging teeth are noted and guidance is provided on what to expect in the coming months. The focus is on making the experience as comfortable as possible while ensuring that any potential issues are identified early.
Preparing Your Child for Their Appointment
It is important to prepare your child for the dental visit in a calm and positive manner. Explain that the dental office is a safe environment where caring professionals work to maintain health. Avoid language that might induce fear and instead describe the visit in simple, reassuring terms. When you demonstrate calmness and positivity, your child is more likely to feel secure and comfortable during the appointment.
Helpful Tips for a Positive Experience
Your role is essential in creating a stress-free experience. Take time to discuss what will happen during the visit and answer any questions your child may have. Emphasize that our dentists and team are there to help keep your child’s smile bright and healthy. By remaining calm and composed, you can help reduce any anxiety your child might experience. It is beneficial to share positive stories or experiences from previous visits, if applicable, to foster a welcoming atmosphere.
Home Care & Future Appointments
After the examination, we will provide you with personalized advice on maintaining your child’s oral hygiene at home. Recommendations may include proper brushing techniques, flossing methods, dietary suggestions and guidelines for fluoride use. Establishing a routine is critical to preventing dental problems in the future. The office will also set up a schedule for regular follow-up appointments, which are important for monitoring your child’s progress and addressing any changes in their dental needs. We encourage you to ask questions and seek clarification on any issues discussed during the visit.

Dr Farr was so great along with all of her staff. Said it was one of the hardest extracrions she has done. She was efficient and professional.
Khemdah
Everyone is so pleasant when I came in for my appointment. I thought I had an emergency tooth problem so they worked me right in but it turned out to be a sinus infection. I am so glad to have a good, honest dentist to see when I have a dental problem.
Leslie T.
Katie did a great job of cleaning my teeth and is extremely professional and personable. Dr Farr is so pleasant and also professional. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dental office.

Dr. Farr and her team will literally make your dental experience something special! From check-in where you’re offered cold bottled water to check out where costs compare with other offices but not the quality of care. All my needs are met to keep my “phobia of dental care” to a minimum and my dental health 5 star!
