Our engaging dentists are able to provide comprehensive dental services for your child, while making each dental visit a positive experience. It is important to develop good oral hygiene and dental care habits early on in life. Introducing regular dental visits, and positive experiences with a dentist, early on in your child’s life, may also help to prevent any future anxieties and fears associated with the process.

When Is Pediatric Dentistry Necessary?

Pediatric dentistry is important to:

  • Teach children proper tooth brushing techniques. 
  • Ensure the health of ‘baby’ teeth, which in turn ensures proper alignment and growth of permanent teeth. 

Parents are recommended to bring their child for their dental visit approximately six months after the eruption of their first ‘baby’ tooth. Following which, dental visits should be scheduled once every six months to ensure the child develops a positive relationship with their dentist. Follow-up visits also allow your child’s dentist to monitor the child’s oral health status.

All our clinics are also equipped with ceiling or wall-mounted TVs to keep your child entertained throughout their dental visit.

Procedure

Step 1:

Pediatric dental consultations are similar to adult consultations. Your child’s dentist will begin by introducing your child to the dental chair and ensuring they are comfortable and familiar with their surroundings before a visual inspection of the teeth and oral cavity.

Step 2:

Pediatric dentists may ask general questions about your child’s teeth and any concerns you might have before performing the necessary procedures. As your child enters toddlerhood, your child’s dentist may recommend they undergo diagnostic imaging (X-ray) to be able to monitor their teeth.

Step 3:

Regular dental visits include tooth cleaning in order to remove any debris or calculus that may build up on tooth surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

How do I prepare my child for their first visit to a dental clinic?

Parents should provide their children with reassurance and support. You may also read books or view child-friendly video content about dental visits to ease your child’s apprehension. Discuss any concerns you may have with your child’s dentist in order to work together to alleviate any fears.

How do I help maintain my kids' dental health and hygiene?

The following can be done to encourage children to have good oral hygiene between dental treatments:

  • Use a clean, wet cloth to clean your infant’s mouth after feeding. 
  • Use a small, soft toothbrush to clean your child’s mouth as soon as their first tooth erupts. 
  • Avoid frequent snacking. 
  • Avoid letting your child sleep with a milk bottle in their mouth.

Apart from practising dental care at home, it is also equally important to bring your child for regular dental visits.

Can I use government subsidies for my child's dental treatment?

Yes, you may. Please refer to this page on baby bonus and child development account (CDA) that can be used at dePacific family dental clinic. For more enquires on children dentistry, you may contact us here.
