Children's dentist
near Downers Grove, IL.

The best first dental visit is a boring one. Start early, while there is nothing to fix, and the chair never becomes a place where bad things happen.

Start before
anything hurts.

Bring your child in around their first birthday, or whenever that first tooth comes through. If there are no dental issues beforehand, those early visits are simple checkups and nothing more.

That is exactly the point. A child who has been in the chair a few times when nothing was wrong is a different patient from one who first arrives with a toothache. Starting early makes visits simpler, and honestly more fun, for your child.

Regular checkups also head problems off. Cavities and gum disease can be found and treated early, before they cause pain or discomfort. We love treating kids and watching them grow up in the practice, which is easier to do when they start small.

Downers Grove parents ask

When should
we start?

How old should my child be for a first visit?

Around their first birthday, or when the first tooth erupts. If there are no dental issues beforehand, those first visits are simple checkups.

Is it too late if my child is already five?

Not at all. Starting today is better than starting next year. We take the first visit at your child's pace whatever their age.

Do you see the whole family?

Yes. Dr. Najwa Jaamour treats patients of all ages, from children to seniors, so the school run and your own cleaning can share a trip.

How far is the drive?

2.9 miles from Downers Grove, about six minutes. South on Main Street, then east on 63rd Street to Williams.

Are you taking new young patients?

Yes. We welcome new patients of all ages. Call (630) 810-9940 and we will get your child booked.

What happens at that first appointment?

We look at the teeth that are through, talk with you about brushing and about food, and let your child get used to the chair. If x-rays make sense for their age we take them.

Can we come on a Saturday morning?

Saturday is 8AM to 1PM by appointment, which many families prefer to a weekday. Wednesday runs 12PM to 8PM if after school suits you better.
