During this short session the children’s dentist will examine your child’s teeth, mouth, and gums for the presence of decay, gum disease or whether early orthodontic treatment is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Regular Dental Visits Necessary for Children?
Encouraging a positive perception of dental visits is crucial to ensuring a calm and pleasant experience for children. Dentists play a significant role in imparting preventive measures and educating kids on effective tooth brushing and oral care, empowering them to take charge of their dental hygiene early on.
Furthermore, dentists engage in conversations with parents regarding potential concerns, sugar intake, and brushing practices. Regular check-ups, typically scheduled every 6-9 months, are essential for maintaining children’s dental health. Avoiding missed appointments is crucial in upholding the well-being of their teeth.
At What Age Should Children Have Their Initial Dental Appointment?
It is crucial for children to have their first dental examination as soon as their primary teeth start emerging, often occurring around 6 months of age. These early visits play a vital role in acquainting young infants with the environment, sounds, and procedures typically associated with dental check-ups.
Initiating regular examinations at an early stage allows for the timely identification of any issues, facilitating the promotion of long-term oral health that extends well into adulthood.
