What age should my child start visiting the dentist?

What age should my child start visiting the dentist?

It’s recommended that children start seeing the dentist for check-ups from the age of three. However, if you have any questions or concerns about your toddlers who are younger, we are happy to see them and put your mind at ease. The sooner kids start having check-ups, the sooner they can build a trusting relationship with the dentist and avoid developing dental anxieties later in life.

Treatment for kids

We offer a wide range of child dental care including:

  • Check-ups
  • Teeth cleaning and fluoride
  • Oral hygiene instructions (how to brush and floss demos)
  • Fissure seals
  • Fillings
  • Removal of stubborn baby teeth
  • Sports mouth guards
  • Emergency dental care

Other things we look out for during your child’s development:

  • Teeth crowding
  • Unusual jaw development
  • Large tonsils
  • Sleep apnoea and snoring
  • Mouth breathing
  • Thumb sucking

 

We love treating children, and all our dentists are experienced in treating children of all ages, ensuring they are at ease in our relaxed, kid-friendly, nurturing Mt Barker dental surgery.
