The first dental visit is recommended after the first baby tooth appears, or at the latest before the first birthday. This early visit helps familiarise the child with the clinic environment and provides caregivers with guidance.
Although temporary, baby teeth matter: they support speech development, chewing function and space for permanent teeth. Baby tooth decay should not be left untreated.
Fluoride toothpaste in age-appropriate amounts is effective at preventing cavities. Fissure sealants offer protective coverage for the deep grooves of back teeth, reducing decay risk.
Dental anxiety is common in children; a calm parental approach and the clinic's child-friendly attitude make a real difference. Sedation can also be considered when early treatment is needed.
