Children’s dentistry

A children’s dentist that makes visits feel easy

Good first visits make for relaxed grown-ups. We keep children’s appointments short and friendly, explain everything in words they understand, and let them explore the chair before we start.

Bring your child in

  • By their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth
  • Every six months or so for a checkup, as with adults
  • If a tooth looks discolored, chipped, or is bothering them
  • Before starting a sport, to talk about a mouthguard

Sealants, explained

Sealants are a thin protective coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where deep grooves can trap food. It’s quick, and usually nothing needs to be numbed.

    Count the teeth

    A quick, gentle look at their teeth and gums, turning it into a game where we can.

  3. 3

    A little polish

    For older children, a clean and polish, and fluoride varnish to help protect their enamel.

  4. 4

Questions people ask about children’s dentistry

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dental associations recommend a first visit by your child’s first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits are mostly about getting comfortable.

Can I stay with my child?

Of course. Parents are welcome in the room for the whole visit.

How can I prepare my child?

Keep it light and positive, and try not to use words like “hurt” or “needle”. Morning appointments often work best, when children are fresh.
