At What Age Should My Child First Visit The Dentist?
We recommend that your child have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth emerges, whichever comes first. Early visits help familiarize your child with the dental environment and set the stage for a lifetime of healthy oral habits.
How Often Should My Child Visit The Dentist?
Children should visit the dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. These regular visits help monitor oral development, prevent cavities and maintain overall dental health.
What Should I Expect During My Child's First Dental Visit?
The first visit is usually brief and involves a gentle examination of your child’s teeth and gums. We’ll also discuss proper brushing techniques, dietary recommendations and answer any questions you might have about your child’s oral health care.
How Can I Help My Child Prevent Cavities?
Ensure they brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks can also help. We recommend regular fluoride treatments and may suggest dental sealants during check-ups for added protection against cavities.
What If My Child Feels Anxious About Visiting The Dentist?
Our team is experienced in handling children’s dental fears and works to create a welcoming and soothing environment. We use kid-friendly language and techniques to explain procedures, aiming to make each visit a positive experience.
