It is essential to establish healthy oral hygiene practices in children and ensure they have regular dental check-ups throughout their childhood to maintain good oral health in the future. Although it can be challenging for parents to encourage their children to brush, floss, and attend dental appointments, our dentists understand these difficulties. Our team is dedicated to assisting parents in caring for their children’s oral health by explaining procedures in a way that is understandable to children, demonstrating patience and kindness, and providing friendly faces. The ultimate goal is to promote children’s dental health and prepare them for a healthy life.
It is important to schedule your child’s first appointment with a paediatric dentist around the age of
2. While there may be exceptional cases where a dental visit is necessary before this age, most children typically start receiving professional dental care at this age. During the initial visit, the dentist will conduct a visual evaluation of your child’s teeth and gums, and address any concerns or potential future issues. The appointment also serves as an opportunity for your child to get familiarized with the dental environment, staff, and equipment. Additionally, the dental staff will educate you and your child about proper dental hygiene practices to be followed at home.
As your child grows, they will receive typical dental care services such as preventive care, routine cleaning, oral examinations, dental x-rays, fillings, orthodontics, and extractions. To maintain good dental health, it is crucial to adhere to the suggested treatments or procedures for any dental problems, in addition to annual check-ups.
