Happy Kids, Healthy Teeth
It’s never been more important to get your children to see us regularly.
As your local children’s dentist, we will teach your children good oral habits that they will maintain and look after your kids’ teeth from baby to teenager and beyond.
We pay particular attention to children. If a child has had a bad dental experience, it can put them off going to the dentist later in life.
Our team loves kids and we will take the time to make sure your child relaxes and has fun when they visit us.
When to See a Dentist
It's never too early to start thinking about your child's dental health! We recommend a first visit when their baby teeth start to appear.
This initial check-up is a great chance for your child to get comfortable with the dental environment and for you to learn more about a good oral hygiene routine.
You Can Help Us
A positive attitude can help set the stage for a great dental visit. We find that focusing on the benefits of keeping teeth healthy is a wonderful way to prepare your child. Our team is dedicated to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment, and we're always happy to answer any questions you or your child might have.
Making Brushing Fun for Kids
Getting children excited about oral hygiene can be a challenge! We've found that using technology, such as a brushing timer app or a fun, educational video, can be a great way to encourage them to brush for the recommended two minutes, twice a day. These tools can help kids get into a consistent and effective brushing routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we encourage children to start seeing us at around two years of age?
We invite children for their first dental visit when the first teeth appear or by around two years of age. Early visits help us establish good oral habits and make future dental visits relaxed and confident.
How do we help children feel comfortable at the dentist?
We take time to make visits fun and relaxing because dental visits can shape how children feel about dentistry for life. We ask parents to stay calm and avoid telling children to be brave or that it won’t hurt to help them feel more at ease.
How do we support children with tooth brushing at home?
We love using engaging tools like the Chompers app to encourage brushing for two minutes twice a day. It’s a fun way to help children take care of their smiles and build healthy habits.
