When should my child first see a dentist?

By their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are mostly about prevention and getting your child comfortable in the chair.

Do cavities in milk teeth need treatment?

Yes. Decayed milk teeth cause pain and infection, can damage the developing adult tooth underneath, and losing them early crowds the permanent teeth.

What are sealants and does my child need them?

A sealant is a thin protective coating flowed into the deep grooves of new back teeth, where most childhood cavities start. It is quick, painless and one of the most cost-effective preventive treatments there is.

My child is terrified of the dentist. What do you do?

We go at their pace — first visit is often just sitting, counting teeth and a ride in the chair. Nothing is done without explaining it first, and a parent stays beside the chair throughout.

The journey

Kids Dentistry, step by step

1
Happy visit
The first appointment is a friendly ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, and nothing more if that is all your child can manage.
2
Examination
We check for early decay, bite development and habits like thumb-sucking or mouth-breathing.
3
Prevention
Fluoride varnish and sealants are applied, and we coach brushing with you and your child together.
4
Treatment if needed
Fillings or extractions are done gently and briefly, with plenty of explanation first.
