At Adelberg Montalvan Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that a bright, happy smile begins early in life, and we’re committed to making your child’s first dental experiences positive and fun. If your little one is under 3 years old, we’re thrilled to offer free lap dental visits on long island! These initial visits are specially designed to ensure your baby’s oral health gets off to the best possible start while helping parents feel confident about caring for those teeny tiny pearly whites.
A lap dental visit is the first step in your child’s dental health adventure! This early visit allows us to create a positive and stress-free introduction to the dentist for your child. Think of it as a gentle “meet and greet” where your child becomes familiar with the dental office, our team, and what happens during a check-up.
The main goals? Ensure your baby’s teeth, gums, and mouth are healthy while empowering you with knowledge about oral care for your growing little one. Lap visits are also crucial for catching and addressing potential concerns early on. After all, pediatric dental care isn’t just about treating problems: it’s about preventing them. Plus, these visits often create delightful bonding moments as we work together to lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Lap visits are simple, quick, and easy! Here’s what to expect when you bring your little one to Adelberg Montalvan Pediatric Dentistry:
You and your child will be greeted warmly by our friendly staff. We’ll take a moment to chat with you about your child’s medical history, your questions or concerns, and what to expect during the visit. This helps everyone feel at ease (including our tiny patients).
Using kid-friendly tools and lots of smiles, we’ll perform a quick, gentle check-up. We’ll examine your baby’s teeth, gums, and mouth to ensure everything is developing as it should. This step is quick and painless, and we’ll keep your child as engaged as possible with fun, age-appropriate distractions along the way!
Next, you’ll sit comfortably in the dentist’s chair with your child on your lap. Our Long Island pediatric dentist will sit facing you, so your child can lie back with their head gently resting in the dentist’s lap. This comfortable setup helps your child feel safe and supported.
After the exam, we’ll share personalized tips for keeping your baby’s mouth clean and healthy at home. Got questions? We’ll answer them to the best of our abilities, because no concern is too small regarding your little one’s smile!

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your baby’s first visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits are vital for spotting potential issues and starting great habits!
Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a rice-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste twice daily is key. We’ll give you specific advice during your visit based on your child’s unique needs.
Yes! Even if your baby only has one tooth, we can still assess their mouth’s overall health.
Lap visits also help your child grow comfortable with the dentist from a young age, and that’s priceless.
That’s okay! We’re pros when it comes to working with little ones, and we’ll do everything we can to keep them calm and comfortable. A bit of fussing is perfectly normal, and we’ll make every effort to ensure the experience is positive.

I can not say enough wonderful things about the team and the doctors. I was a new patient who called and given my situation, they were able to get me In the same day. The doctor was funny, informative, and was able to keep my child calm while he did the work that was needed.
