My Child's First Visit
We offer dental services to children of all ages. While we have techniques specifically designed for children, you can assist us in making your child’s first visit to the dentist positive and non-threatening. You can do this by refraining from using frightening words such as needle, shot, drill or hurt. Prepare your child by explaining what to expect, building understanding and excitement. This helps eliminate any surprises or unnecessary anxiety. Patience and calm on the part of the parent and reassuring communication with your child are very important.
The first visit is merely an ice-breaker to acquaint your child with the dentist and the practice. Parents may be asked to wait in the reception area so a relationship can be built between your child and the dentist. Depending on the age, your child will receive a gentle but thorough examination of the teeth, jaw, bite, gums and oral tissues; and a gentle cleaning and assessment of the need for fluoride. Children, like adults should see the dentist every six months. Our doctors will answer any questions you may have about your child’s oral health.
