Your child’s first dental
visit should happen by
age one, or within six
months of their first
tooth coming in. This
first check-up is a
chance for the dentist to see how your child’s teeth and mouth are
growing, spot any early signs of cavities, and show you how to care
for your child’s teeth.
The dentist will look at your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth to help
keep things healthy and make going to the dentist a positive
experience. To make things go smoothly, try to book the
appointment at a time that works best for your child, stay relaxed,
and bring along a favourite toy or blanket for comfort.
Preparation:
Help your child practice opening their mouth wide and answering
questions about eating habits. Books or videos on dental visits can
make them feel more at ease.
Follow-Up:
Schedule routine check-ups as advised by your dentist to track your
child’s dental health. This first visit sets the foundation for lifelong
oral wellness.
