Children's Dentistry – FAQ
When should I bring my child for their first dental visit?
Children should see a dentist as soon as their first teeth appear, and definitely by their first birthday. Early visits help build confidence and allow us to spot potential issues early.
How often should children see the dentist?
Most children should have a check-up every 6 months, although some may benefit from more frequent visits if they are at higher risk of tooth decay.
What can I do at home to protect my child’s teeth?
Supervise brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage water between meals. Regular dental check-ups add extra protection.
Do you offer fluoride varnish or fissure sealants for children?
Yes — we provide fluoride varnish and fissure sealants where clinically appropriate to help strengthen teeth and reduce the risk of decay.
What if my child is nervous about visiting the dentist?
We take a gentle, friendly and patient approach. Our team helps children feel safe and relaxed, and we allow extra time if needed to build confidence over time.
