My child is afraid of the dentist. What can we do?
Please let us know in advance. We then go slower, explain everything before it happens, and stop any time it is needed. Most fear comes from unpredictability — that is what we remove first. At home it helps to talk about the visit calmly, without using it as a threat.
When should I first bring my child to the dentist?
The best time for a first, no-stakes visit is around age 4–5 — as the mixed-dentition period approaches but there are no complaints yet. The child gets to know the practice, the chair and us in a playful way, so that by the time actual treatment is needed, the dental setting is already familiar and natural. An early, calm encounter is the best protection against later dental fear.
How often should we come for a check-up?
A dental check-up is recommended every six months, and at least once a year. Regular screening is the most effective — and for the child the gentlest — form of dental care: early decay or gum inflammation can still be stopped with simple, painless means before it needs treatment. The check-up is also an opportunity to review brushing technique and fine-tune habits. After the first visit we set a rhythm together that fits the child's teeth and habits.
How do you brush teeth correctly?
In three steps, always in the same order, so no tooth is missed. (1) Chewing surfaces: short back-and-forth strokes, moving tooth by tooth. (2) Outer surfaces: small circular motions on closed teeth, including along the gumline. (3) Inner surfaces: sweeping strokes from the gum toward the edge of the tooth, brushing the plaque outward. Brush twice a day, for two minutes, with a soft brush.
