When should I schedule my child’s first dental visit?
A child’s first dental appointment should take place by their first birthday or no later than six months after their first tooth emerges—whichever happens first. While this might seem early, it’s the perfect time to ensure their teeth and gums are healthy and developing properly.
This first visit is about getting your little one familiar and comfortable with the dental office environment. Our dentists will also gently examine your child’s mouth and provide tips on caring for baby teeth. We are also happy to answer any questions about teething, thumb-sucking, or oral hygiene. Starting early sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles!
What children’s dental services are available?
We’re delighted to welcome little smiles into our practice! Our team goes above and beyond to ensure your child receives top-notch dental care in a comfortable and friendly environment. We offer a comprehensive range of children’s dental services, including:
- Dental check-ups: Our routine check-ups ensure those little teeth and gums remain in great shape. Oral wellness check-ups let us detect and treat oral problems before they worsen and become costly and painful.
- Dental cleanings: Like adults, children need dental cleanings every six months. Our gentle teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar from the hard-to-reach areas of your child’s mouth.
- Dental sealants: Let’s protect your child’s decay-prone teeth with effective fissure sealants. These clear plastic coatings act as a shield, protecting your child’s teeth from harmful acids and decay-causing bacteria.
- Fluoride treatments: Fluoride strengthens the enamel against tooth decay. While fluoride can be acquired from water, oral products, and certain foods, these sources may not provide the optimum level. Topical fluoride treatments at our office are a safe and simple way to protect your child’s teeth from decay and sensitivities.
- Education: We help children and parents develop great dental habits by teaching excellent oral care techniques and guiding them on childhood habits like thumb-sucking, sippy cups, mouth breathing, etc.
- Orthodontics: We offer paediatric orthodontics, ensuring your child’s growing smile gets the care it needs. From early evaluations to braces or other orthodontic treatments, we help correct misalignments and guide proper jaw development.
