Taking your child to the Dentist for the first time can be an intimidating task. While we all know those little teeth will fall out it’s important to keep them – and your child’s gums, in tip-top shape.
First thing’s first! Teach your child how to brush their brand new teeth (or tooth)! While taking your child to the dentist can seem daunting, it’s an important step in setting healthy habits and ensuring everything is on track with your little one’s oral health.
While most parents envision tantrums and plan bribery to make their kids enjoy the dentist remember that your kids don’t have any negative associations with the dentist, and with our expert team at Accent they never will!
We recommend you bring in your tot by their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears, which is usually between the ages of 6 and 12 months of age – we want to ensure their pearly whites are properly cared for from the get-go!
We strive to create a pleasant, understandable atmosphere to assist in easing your child into the dentist and creating a positive experience. This appointment is also for you, the parent so if you have any questions about toddler teething, thumb sucking, tooth-friendly foods or any thing else that pertains to your child’s oral health be sure to bring them along!
To book your child's first appointment, call our team at 250.563.4939.
