We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit at around age two. Starting early gives our dentists the chance to monitor your child's dental development from the beginning, spot any concerns before they become problems and help your little one feel comfortable in the dental chair from a young age.
At Jansz Dental, we understand that a child's first visit to the dentist can feel like a big moment for the whole family. Our goal is to put young patients at ease and make every visit a positive experience, so your child grows up seeing dental care as something normal and nothing to fear.
What to Expect at Your Child's First Dental Appointment
During that first appointment, Dr Jansz will take a gentle look at your child's teeth and gums, check that everything is developing as it should, and give you practical guidance on brushing, diet, and habits such as thumb sucking or dummy use. It is also a wonderful opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your child's oral health.
Building good dental habits early sets children up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. If your child is approaching two or you are simply ready to get started, we would love to welcome your family to our practice. Get in touch with your Sherwood children's dentist on (07) 3278 6111 to book your child's first appointment.
