Prepare for Your Child’s First Dental Visit in King of Prussia.

Request an Appointment

A dentist can help your child start good oral habits.

During a child’s first dental visit, our dentist will talk to you about your child’s oral health. Your kid’s first pediatric dentist will give you the best oral care steps. However, the most important part of the visit is helping your child get comfortable with our specialist and dentistry team. When the first visit to dentist is both comfortable and pleasant, your child will feel the same during future pediatric dentistry visits.

Our specialist will give you tips on how to care for your child’s oral health. This includes:

  • Brushing and flossing.
  • Using fluoride.
  • Dealing with negative oral habits like thumb-sucking.
  • Milestones such as teething.
  • Preventing accidents that may damage a tooth.
  • The best diet for oral health.
  • Caring for tissues such as gums.
  • Assessing a child’s risk of cavities in a tooth.

Making Your Child’s First Dental Visit a Great Service

It can seem scary to them. Follow these tips to help your baby’s first dental visit go well:

  • Keeping it casual: The most important part of your kid’s first dental visit is ensuring your child is comfortable.
  • Introducing the dentist: You can bring your child to your next checkup or cleaning. Your child can see that you act calmly in the chair.
  • Looking around the office: You can ask the staff if you can take your child to look at the office. This can help them see there is nothing to fear.

It is good to plan these dental service previews before your child’s first dental visit when the office is quiet. This will help your child avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Before you visit, you will fill out forms such as the Child Registration Form, Notice of Privacy Practices, and Acknowledgement of Receipt of HIPAA Privacy Policies and Procedures. We are located in King of Prussia. We also serve Collegeville, Norristown, Wayne, Phoenixville, Bridgeport, and Conshohocken, PA. Contact King of Prussia Dental™ Associates today to learn more.

I have severe anxiety from a dental experience in the military and have had panic attacks in a dental office so bad that I’ve passed out. I am so very thankful that I found this practice!! The dental assistants are AMAZING and the dentists are PHENOMENAL! I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist office as I am here. They are so compassionate, caring and understanding.I’ve been to other practices where they have no regard for your comfort and could care less about your anxiety over dental work. I had one dentist at another practice literally shove a tool into a cavity on a tooth that I was already feeling pain in, this was after I politely asked that he just not touch that tooth without it being numbed first. He actually yelled at me that he couldn’t “treat” me unless he could feel how deep the cavity was. It sent a ridiculous pain right through my jaw and I literally got up and said no f’ing way I’m staying here. I ended up at KOP for that tooth and the experience was night and day different.I have had both Dr. Soffin and Dr. Pickel and they are the best. They are very cognizant of your comfort, pain level and the work they do is excellent. Both are super nice gentlemen. It is very relieving knowing that I can finally get the dental treatments I need without having the anxiety that I used to.

I have been a loyal patient of Jenn C for many, many years. She is always on time, organized, thorough and effective. She can answer any dental questions and can even solve some minor woes. She is wonderful.

Highly highly recommend. Came in this morning for a root canal. Novocain does not work for me and I cannot tolerate nitrous oxide. To say I was anxious would be an understatement.

Highly highly recommend. Came in this morning for a root canal. Novocain does not work for me and I cannot tolerate nitrous oxide. To say I was anxious would be an understatement. Dr Soffin really took his time with me to do some troubleshooting before ultimately deciding a root canal wasn't the way to go (thank god). He really took his time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. He called in Dr Rapine for a second opinion and not only did he agree with Dr Soffin, he also offered some new insights. You can tell these guys are pros at what they do. I felt cared for and listened to. Shout out to Jo Ann, the dental assistant who I can only describe as the 'emotional support lady' I needed. You guys were awesome!

Dr Rapine is a dentist I trust. He has a great chair-side manner

The office staff is very friendly and welcoming. Checking in and out were very easy and organized. Dr. Neuman is very personable as well as a great dentist. This was my first visit to this office and will definitely be back.

Friendly staff and great service. Unlike most dental offices you are treated like a person and not as a number to hit revenue goals. Will recommend this office to anyone

Amazing practice from the woman who answered the phone to the woman who said goodbye after the visit! I was in pain and scared to go, they were the kindest and most understanding group I have been around in a long time. Work is complete and I have found a new dentist. Best thing the doctor was so amazing I did not even feel the needle and I was getting a root canal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
