A gentle first visit
The first appointment may involve getting familiar with the chair and instruments, discussing home care and completing as much of an examination as the child is comfortable with. Urgent concerns are handled according to clinical need.
Preventive care for children
Advice may cover brushing, fluoride toothpaste, diet, mouthguards and monitoring how teeth are developing. Preventive recommendations are based on the child’s age and decay risk.
Preparing your child
Use calm, simple language and avoid suggesting the visit will hurt. Bring relevant medical details and let the team know about previous experiences, sensory needs or anxiety.
