One of the most common questions we hear from parents is: “When is the right time to bring a child in for their first dental visit?” And the answer might surprise you… Keep reading to find out how Dental House is keeping families smiling across Surrey!
When To Bring Your Child In For A Check-Up
Our dental experts always recommend that children see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first!
This might feel quite early, but these crucial first visits are all about prevention, reassurance, and helping build confidence in your child whilst in the dental chair. And the benefits don’t end there. Early appointments help:
- Reduce the risk of tooth decay
- Monitor jaw and tooth development
- Prevent dental phobia and anxiety
- Encourage lifelong healthy habits!
Wondering What Happens At A Children’s Dental Appointment?
During your child’s appointment, the dentist may:
- Check how their teeth are developing
- Look for any early signs of decay
- Offer helpful advice on brushing and tooth-friendly diets
- Answer any questions you may have as a parent!
