When should my child have their first dental visit?
Most dental associations recommend a first visit within six months of the first tooth appearing, or by a child's first birthday. Earlier visits are welcome if you have any concern about teething, spacing, or early decay.
What happens during a child's first checkup?
The first visit is kept short and low-pressure. The dentist checks tooth development and looks for early signs of decay. For very young children, much of the visit is about helping them feel comfortable in the chair.
What children's dental services does Toothport offer?
Toothport's children's care covers routine exams and cleanings, cavity treatment with tooth-coloured fillings, sealants, and guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet as a child's teeth develop.
Is nitrous oxide available for anxious children?
Yes. Nitrous oxide is available for patients who feel anxious. Please speak with the team before your child's appointment so everyone knows what to expect.
How can I help my child feel less nervous?
Keeping the visit low-key and avoiding words like "hurt" or "shot" can help. Our team is used to first-visit nerves and paces the appointment around your child.
