Child's First Visit
As a specialist practice, the purpose of our first visit is to meet parent and child and suggest any necessary treatment or advice, as such many children require a different approach to the dental treatment .Our specialists need to determine the best way of delivering treatment in a “friendly way” for all ages. We judge the coping abilities of each child and consequently decide the best approach which results in successful dental treatment.
Thank you for choosing our practice for dental assessment and care of your child.
We recommend the first visit of the baby should be when the first tooth erupts or latest before the baby’s first birthday. We have found that when the parent starts to take care of the child’s teeth early they have fewer cavities and are more co-oporative for brushing and flossing.
We schedule field trips to the dental clinic for pre-school classes and parent groups.
We recommend that both Mom and Dad come for the baby’s first visit. There will be plenty of valuable information given to them about early dental care…how to brush baby’s teeth, about nutrition and most importantly what to expect during teething.We offer valuable strategies about how to stop thumb sucking and pacifier habits. Our dental team will join you in creating a safe, positive and loving environment while meeting the needs of your special little one.
