What Is it?
We provide a simple and gentle knee-to-knee exam for infants and toddlers. This technique allows your child to sit securely on your lap while facing you, helping them feel safe and comfortable during their first dental visits.
How do we do it?
With you and the dentist sitting knee-to-knee, your child can easily lean back into the dentist’s lap for a quick check of their mouth, teeth, and gums. This approach not only makes the exam less intimidating for little ones but also allows parents to be actively involved in their child’s care.
Your child’s first visit to our office is designed to be fun, gentle, and stress-free. We’ll take time to get to know you and your child, introduce them to the dental chair and tools in a friendly way, and perform a simple exam to check their teeth, gums and overall oral health. Depending on their age, this may include a knee-to-knee exam, gentle cleaning, x-rays, and tips for home care. Our goal is to create a positive first experience that builds comfort and confidence for future visits.
