Frequently Asked Questions
General information only. The dentist will advise based on your child’s individual examination.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
The recommended interval depends on the child’s age, oral health and risk factors. The dentist can suggest an appropriate review schedule after examination.
What if my child is nervous about dental visits?
Tell the dental team before or at the start of the visit. A calm introduction, simple explanations and a child-appropriate pace can help make the appointment more comfortable.
Why are baby teeth important?
Primary teeth help with chewing, speech and maintaining space for developing permanent teeth. Problems affecting them should still be assessed by a dentist.
What should I do after a dental injury?
Contact a dentist promptly if a child chips, breaks or knocks a tooth. More urgent medical attention may be needed if there is significant bleeding, loss of consciousness or other serious injury.
