FAQ

FAQs About Children’s Dentistry

When should my child first visit the dentist?

Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. Early visits help detect potential issues early, get your child comfortable with the dental environment, and set up good oral habits for life.

What are dental sealants, and does my child need them?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) to prevent cavities. They’re especially effective for children who may struggle with brushing thoroughly. Your dentist may recommend sealants to help keep those teeth healthy.

Why should I worry about baby teeth if they fall out anyway?

Baby teeth play a vital role in your child’s development. They help with chewing, speaking clearly, and guiding adult teeth into the correct position. Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infection, and lead to problems with permanent teeth if left untreated.

Why Early Children's Dental Care Matters

Early dental care helps build lifelong healthy habits and prevents minor issues from becoming major problems. It also lets dentists monitor jaw and tooth development and offer preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants. Most importantly, it makes the dental experience positive and fear-free for your child.

When to See a Paediatric Dentist?

You should see a paediatric dentist if your child is very young, anxious, or has special healthcare needs. Paediatric dentists are specially trained to treat children and can provide a more child-friendly environment. They're experts in child-specific oral development and behaviour management, helping make visits smoother and more effective. Your general dentist may write a referral letter to refer you to a specialist paediatric dentist if necessary.
