A big part of ensuring your child grows up with a healthy smile is bringing them along for routine appointments during their childhood. Here at Appoline Dental Care, we care for your child’s teeth during every stage of their development.
Your child’s first visit should typically be around about the time their first tooth arrives. During their first few appointments, it’s all about getting them used to coming in and getting to know their dentist. Often kids won’t open their mouths until a few appointments down the line, but this is entirely normal.
Once they feel confident, we can examine their mouths and check that their teeth and jaw are developing concurrently, without any size or shape abnormalities. We will also check for any signs of decay at each appointment and perform the restorative treatment to stop this from worsening if necessary.
What can I expect from my child’s dentist visits as a parent?
In many ways, your child’s dentist appointments are equally as important to you as the parent.
Healthy teeth and happy smiles start at home. We believe in working closely with parents to give them the tools they need to support their children in maintaining healthy teeth.
When you accompany your child to see us, this can be an opportunity to access support if you’re struggling to get them to eat the right foods or to brush adequately and correctly.
We are never here to criticise, only to help you to support your child with their brushing at home.
