Creating a Positive Dental Experience
We take time to explain every step in child-friendly language, so young patients know what to expect. Our calm, welcoming environment helps kids feel at ease, and our gentle approach means they’re more likely to view dental visits positively in the future. We can put kids TV shows onto the ceiling mounted TV, and your child will take home a sticker or a toy, along with an oral health pack.
Your Child's First Dental Visit
The ADA recommends a child’s first visit before 12 months or when they get their first tooth. At this age it’s more about creating a “dental exposure” and for the parents to discuss with our Gentle Dentists any concerns they have. We find that 18 months is when a child is aware enough to enjoy their dental visit, we make it super fun with the TV, stickers or a toy to take home!
Dr Sherry and Gen and are all Mums so we know all the tricks and really get it! Dr Yasmita is young so still has that pre parent energy and patience for kids in the dental chair.
