Children's dentistry
Early appointments are kept short and unhurried, and are mostly about the child getting comfortable in the chair. Nothing is done to a child who isn't ready for it.
What happens
A look around
A first visit is often just sitting in the chair, looking at the instruments, and having their teeth counted.
Examination and clean
When the child is comfortable, an examination and a gentle clean, explained to them as it happens.
Prevention
Fissure sealants and fluoride where they're useful, and a conversation with the parent about brushing and diet.
What this covers
