Caring For Your Children's Smile
Children's Dental Appointment - The Process
- Consultation: Depending on the age of your child and their prior dental experience, your dentist will begin with a consultation so your child can understand what to expect. They can also talk your child through the examination in an age-appropriate way, going through the check-up at your child’s pace and taking the time to answer any questions they may have.
- Disease Prevention For Children: We take a prevention-centered approach to children’s dentistry. This involves advice on tooth brushing, age-appropriate toothpaste recommendations, diet advice and fissure sealants.
- Treatment Recommendations: If your dentist discovers any potential issues with your child’s teeth, they will create a personalised treatment plan with options and recommendations.
- Follow-up Appointments: We schedule regular dental examinations and check-up appointments every 6 months as standard for ongoing oral health maintenance for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions
A child’s first visit to the dentist should be when they get their first tooth and should be no later than 1 year after their birth. This exposure to the dental setting will prepare your child for future routine visits so that they become normal and expected.
Due to modern advancements, X-rays these days are at least 90% weaker than they needed to be a few years ago, because of the improvement and development of computer sensors. Dental X-rays are weak and carry a very minute risk to a child’s health.
As a part of general dentistry, we advise that your child starts seeing a dental hygienist every 6 months from the age of 6. This gets them into the habit of seeing the hygienist regularly.
If your child suffers from a toothache, the first thing you should do is try to ease the ache till you see a dentist. You can ease the pain by rinsing the affected area using warm water and putting a cold press on the face if it’s swollen. Children’s paracetamol liquid will also help in getting the pain under control. Make sure you contact your dentist to see them as soon as possible.
Sore gums when teeth erupt are part of the normal eruption process. The discomfort is eased for some children by use of a teething biscuit, a piece of toast or a frozen teething ring. Your pharmacy should also have medications that can be rubbed on the gums to reduce the discomfort.
