Pediatric Dentistry – Powers Dental Group offers the kind of family dentistry you are looking for. Parents know that first trip to the dentist can be a scary thing from their child’s point of view. Reha Haugseth, D.M.D., president of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dentistry says the best time for your child’s first visit to the dentist is at age one or when that first tooth becomes visible, whichever happens first.
