Did you know that your child should be seeing the dentist every six months just like you do? It’s true! At Long Family Dental we want to begin seeing your child around their first birthday so we can begin to monitor their oral health and development. It may seem early, but it helps your child begin acclimating to the dental office, which sets them up for future success. We also encourage parents to bring their little ones along to their own dental appointments. This helps your child see that the dentist in Midlothian is not a scary place.
