When Should Babies Go to the Dentist?
We recommend considering a screening appointment for your child before age 3. This is important to help ensure your child has a healthy and positive image of what it means to visit the dentist.
Children’s baby teeth (or milk teeth as they are often referred to) are just as susceptible to cavities as adult teeth so it is important to keep children’s teeth clean even when they first erupt.
Getting children’s teeth checked at the dentist when toddlers means we can examine the mouth and teeth for any potential issues that might appear, provide a plan for this and monitor any changes and developments.
What if my Child is Afraid of the Dentist?
Some children can feel apprehensive before a visit to the dentist.
When choosing a children’s dentist in Burnaby, look for a team that likes children and has experience with children. In our office, we make sure to explain each step of the process to the kids and show them through the equipment we use, to help ease their nerves.
Home Care of Children’s and Baby’s Teeth
Home care of baby teeth between office visits can include wiping teeth with a clean damp washcloth then progressing to a toothbrush as they get a little older.
Bringing your children to the dentist regularly helps them understand the importance of good oral health.
