Bringing your child to visit us from a very young age is one of the most impactful decisions you can make for their long-term health. We recommend a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. This might seem early, but it’s a crucial step that sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles and positive dental experiences.
Early visits are not just about checking for cavities, although that’s an important part. They allow us to monitor oral development, ensuring their teeth and jaws grow correctly. Catching potential issues like early decay or misalignment can prevent more serious and often more costly problems down the line.
Early dental visits also play a significant role in reducing dental anxiety. When children become familiar with the dental environment from a young age in a positive, friendly setting, they are far less likely to develop fears or anxieties about future appointments.

Addressing orthodontic concerns early, while your child is still growing, makes realignment easier and can prevent more complex problems later. Beyond improving oral health and making teeth easier to clean, a straighter smile significantly boosts a child’s confidence, giving them one less thing to worry about as they approach adulthood.
Fissure sealants can be applied to your child’s permanent teeth as they emerge (usually starting around age six to seven). This is a clear plastic coating that covers the narrow grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to stop bacteria from entering and help prevent tooth decay. In addition, fluoride varnishes can be painted onto young teeth to help strengthen enamel and make them more resistant to decay.
We are dedicated to making your child’s visit a positive experience, featuring a child-friendly team and a free gift at the end of their appointment. Our dentist can refer you to our Oral Hygiene Instructor, who provides essential education on maintaining oral health, including vital diet advice regarding sugary and acidic foods and drinks. To help manage costs and encourage regular care, we also offer the Denplan child plan.
Dental emergencies can be a frightening experience for both children and parents, but rest assured, our practice is exceptionally well-equipped and experienced in handling these urgent situations. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth from a playground mishap, or an injury to the mouth, our compassionate and skilled team is prepared to act swiftly.
It’s recommended that you bring your child for their first dental visit by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. These early visits are crucial for monitoring their oral development, providing preventative advice to parents, and helping your child become comfortable with the dental environment from a young age.
