Your child’s early dental experiences are like planting seeds for a lifetime of healthy habits and happy smiles! Our wonderfully patient, supportive, and engaging dentists have a special gift for working with both children and parents, creating positive experiences that make kids actually look forward to their dental visits. We’re here to help your little ones develop the understanding and habits they need for brilliant oral health that lasts a lifetime.
We understand that your child’s dental needs change and shift as they grow. Our dentist will carry out detailed preventive examinations to detect the smallest abnormalities in their teeth. Some of the things we look for during their visits are:
Patience, prevention and positive reinforcement. It’s very often the case that children refuse to be examined during their first few visits. This is completely normal, and it’s simply their way of figuring out their boundaries and establishing trust.
Our dentists will be patient with your child in establishing mutual respect and trust. As they grow, we will help them understand the importance of prevention to help them avoid dental work in the future.
Finally (and perhaps most importantly), we’ll always give them a dose of positive reinforcement to keep brushing and flossing and help them to understand the foods that are kind to their teeth.
Book a consultation
You should aim to bring your child in for their first appointment at 6 months old, or when their first tooth comes through.
Equally, if you would like advice immediately after your child is born, we are very happy to provide guidance.
There are lots of ways that can make the idea of seeing the dentist much more appealing to children. Some of the tips we often give parents include:
Decay is extremely common in children, accounting for the majority of hospitalisations amongst 5- to 9-year-olds. We can provide the preventive application of fissure sealants, which are placed on the surfaces of back teeth to help prevent cavities.
The main preventive aspect of care that really makes a difference is controlling their sugar intake, which is the main reason why cavities form. If you’re finding this tough as a parent, our dentists are more than happy to talk to you about how to introduce healthier foods into your diet.
