Your Child's First Visit

By introducing them to the dentist early on, children begin to understand the importance of regular check-ups and dental care. Familiarity with the dentist also helps alleviate any fears or anxieties associated with dental visits, making future appointments easier and less stressful for both the child and the dentist.

We’ll start by getting to know your child and establishing a rapport. We’ll explain what will happen during the appointment and answer any questions or concerns you may have. After a thorough examination of your child’s mouth, checking for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other dental issues, we may clean your child’s teeth, removing any plaque or tartar buildup. Finally, we’ll provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices and offer recommendations for any necessary treatments or follow-up appointments.

We might use visual aids such as pictures or diagrams to help children, as well as assist children in brushing their own teeth. It’s our aim to help them understand the correct motions and angles to use when brushing. We’ll use fun, interactive techniques to engage and educate them.

Our team are trained to support all nervous dental patients – even young children.

We’ll provide suggestions of how to limit snacking on sugary foods and beverages in your child’s diet, as well as ensure that your child is drinking plenty of water throughout the day, as it helps to wash away food particles and keep the mouth hydrated.
