jQuery check if ANY element exists

I have this code which is not working jQuery

if($("#dis(h3)").length == 0) $("#dis").append("<p>no display</p>");

HTML:

<div id="dis">
<h3>Title</h3>
//append here
</div>

The append code should work

<div id="dis">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>Text</p>
</div>

The append code should not work.

Edit: I need the append code to appear if there is no other element inside #dis beside h3

What should i do to make it as above(intended)

Try

if($("#dis > h3").siblings().length == 0) $("#dis > h3").append("<p>no display</p>");
