Many parents don\u2019t know that infants should be seen when they get their first tooth or by their 1st birthday at the latest. This visit is not only for the child, but also for the parents. Dr. Riechers will educate you about dental care for children, along with diet education and preparing for what to expect next. It is also a great time for the child to get acquainted with the office, staff and instruments to help prevent dental fears developing in the future.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text width=&#8221;750px&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;]Dr. Sara Riechers is a <a title=\"Family Dentist\" href=\"http:\/\/drsarariechers.com\/family-dentist\/\">family dentist<\/a> and loves working with kids and entire families. (Specialists called pediatric dentists see only children.) Just how good is she with kids? Dr. Riechers\u2019 toddler son loves to floss his teeth and sings while he brushes! Imagine what she could do with your kids.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5690&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604515863833{margin-top: 40px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}&#8221;][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">What will your children experience during their dental visit with Dr. Sara?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604700691475{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3>Patience<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Riechers takes the extra time needed with children of all ages and uses age-appropriate terms to help children understand what is going on and what to expect, as well as make it an interesting and enjoyable experience. This extra time is necessary in order for the kids to feel comfortable, relaxed and informed. She and her staff follow a simple yet powerful three-step process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tell the kids what is going to happen during their visit.<\/li>\n<li>Show them the different instruments and explain what they are and how they will be used.<\/li>\n<li>Do the procedure once the child feels comfortable, relaxed and empowered<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604700695924{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3>Make It Fun<\/h3>\n<p>Not all kids\u2019 dentists make visiting the dentist fun. Dr. Riechers and her staff tell stories, name teeth and fillings, use words that sound silly but help your child make sense of what is going on (sugar bugs, tooth tickler), and hand out lots of high 5\u2019s and positive encouragement during the visit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604700700408{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3>Treasure Box<\/h3>\n<p>After every dental visit the child will be able to pick a prize from the treasure chest. Although the prizes vary, it is not uncommon to find super balls, bracelets, pull back cars or squeaky animals. Motivation and a positive experience are essential elements for a successful visit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1648162306626{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3>Healthy Teeth Kit<\/h3>\n<p>After every exam visit your child also receives a tooth brush, tooth paste, kid flossers and a sand timer so they know how long they should brush. This kit is crucial in building healthy habits at an early age. The habits your kiddos are forming now are the ones they will carry throughout their lives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1746720567673{padding-top: 80px !important;background-color: #d7edd0 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text width=&#8221;750px&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; color=&#8221;#4d8c40&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604700129049{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><em>&#8220;I just brought both of my kids in to see Dr. Sara.

In children, cavities can progress fast and cause serious damage in a short amount of time. This is why <a title=\"Our Team\" href=\"http:\/\/drsarariechers.com\/our-team\/\">Dr. Riechers<\/a> usually recommends seeing children every six months. If a child has 7 or more cavities or a very high cavity risk, a schedule of every three months is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sara is a warm, <a title=\"Home\" href=\"http:\/\/drsarariechers.com\/\">caring dentist<\/a> and a loving Mom.
