Dentistry for Children

Because prevention is always better than a cure, it’s never too early for your child’s first visit to the dentist.

In fact, the best time for their first trip to the chair is around six months of the first tooth emerging – usually by the time they are one year old. Their first experience can be a daunting one, which is why we’ve made special efforts to put them at ease.

In the waiting room and over the dentist’s chair itself, flat-screen televisions playing cartoons keep the kids relaxed and entertained. Our ‘Wall of Smiles’ shows all the happy faces who have previously enjoyed dental treatment with us and now have zero cavities! It’s an area where we teach them how to properly look after their teeth and gums, making sure that it’s a learning experience as well as a comfortable one. We also provide postive reinforcements when we see improvements in their Dental Health over a period.

A lifetime of happy smiles is a great reward for getting ahead on good oral hygiene. Contact us today to make your child’s first appointment, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have without obligation.
