Regular care for children is extremely important for setting a great foundation for a lifetime of good oral hygiene and a healthy smile. At Oakview Dental Group, we provide dental care for the entire family, including children. As a children’s dentistry in Oakville, we are experienced in providing dental care to children and strive to make these special patients feel comfortable during their examinations and treatments.
First Dental Examination
As a dentist for kids Oakville, we recommend your child should have his or her first dental appointment after the first tooth appears and before his or her first birthday. While children do lose their “baby” teeth or primary teeth, these teeth are instrumental in helping children speak and chew properly. Additionally, these primary teeth create a path for their permanent adult teeth to follow when they erupt. Dental check-ups are also important opportunities to create a good foundation for ongoing oral hygiene and give parents the chance to ask any questions they have about a child’s oral health.
You child’s first dental visit will include scaling and polishing, fluoride treatment, a soft tissue examination, brushing and flossing instructions, a developmental examination, and nutritional counseling for maintaining good oral health.
