Healthy dental habits start from childhood.
By the age of two to three, your child should have all baby teeth erupted and this is a great time to bring your child to the dental clinic for their first check-up.
Although dental treatment might not be required at this initial visit, it is crucial to let your child know that this is a fun place to be, making your child more receptive to dental treatments in the future.
When you bring your child to the dental clinic at an early age it also gives us the opportunity to detect any dental problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. Early detection and remedy means that the child is spared from complex traumatic dental procedures as a result of disease worsening. In some cases, early intervention in your child is needed to ensure proper growth of the jaw, and proper eruption of adult teeth.
Our friendly dentists at Mindful Dental Care generally recommend a 6 monthly check up for every child. If your child is not ready for their visit, one way to build up their confidence is to bring them along with you when you attend for your dental treatment. Let them just be familiar and aware of the dental surroundings while they are with you.
