Your Child’s First Exam

The Canadian Dental Association recommends scheduling your child’s first dental check-up within six months of their first tooth eruption or by their first birthday. While this may seem early, it’s the perfect time to begin fostering a positive relationship with dental care. Children who develop a comfortable rapport with their dentist are more likely to cooperate during appointments and establish good oral hygiene practices, potentially preventing extensive and costly dental treatments in the future.

During these early appointments, our experienced dental team will guide how to effectively care for your child’s teeth. We will also discuss essential aspects of oral health, such as the benefits of fluoride and the importance of a balanced diet. As your child grows, their dental visits will gradually resemble routine adult check-ups, including professional cleanings and thorough cavity assessments. Regular dental visits also enable us to monitor your child’s evolving dental needs, allowing us to create a personalized dental care plan tailored to their specific requirements as they develop.
