Children’s Dentistry

Building a Positive Dental Experience for a Lifetime

A child’s first visit to the dentist is crucial for fostering a lifelong positive attitude toward oral care. At Dental Art, we treat both professional dental care and your child’s emotional well-being as equally important aspects of children’s dentistry. Our experienced and understanding specialists create a safe and welcoming environment for our young patients.

We offer a wide range of services, including first visits, dental hygiene, fillings, and baby tooth extractions.

A visit to the dentist can be an emotional and nerve-wracking experience for children.

What to Know Before the Procedure

Before your visit, prepare your child by discussing what to expect at the dentist’s office. We recommend scheduling the first visit around the age of one to establish healthy habits and attitudes toward dental visits and lay a strong foundation for proper oral hygiene.

What Happens During the Procedure

Before starting any treatment, the dentist will explain the steps involved in the procedure. Young patients can watch cartoons during their appointment, helping to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Pain-free anesthesia methods may be used to ensure your child’s comfort. Whether it’s a filling or another dental procedure, the process is quick, safe, and designed to prioritize your child’s emotional well-being.

Recommendations and aftercare

After the procedure, it’s essential to follow the dentist’s instructions, as aftercare may vary depending on the treatment performed. Generally, it’s recommended to brush your child’s teeth twice a day using age-appropriate toothbrushes and toothpaste. Additional tips include:

  • For young children: Begin flossing once the first permanent molars erupt. Flossing should be done before evening brushing. Parents are encouraged to assist their children with flossing until they can do it themselves properly.
  • With braces: Use specialized orthodontic brushes, such as single-tuft brushes (“Compact Tuft”), and consult with your hygienist on appropriate interdental brushes. Orthodontic floss can also be used to clean hard-to-reach areas thoroughly.

After the visit, ask your dentist for personalized recommendations, such as dietary restrictions or activity limitations, to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting results.

Our Advice for Parents

  • Start oral care as soon as your child’s first tooth emerges.
  • Baby teeth are just as important as permanent teeth, as they shape the bite, support jaw growth, and impact speech and dental aesthetics.
  • Schedule regular dental hygiene visits twice a year to maintain your child’s dental health and reduce the risk of gum and tooth problems.
  • Provide a nutritious diet to promote strong, healthy teeth.
