Most parents aren’t sure when to schedule their child’s first dental appointment. At Ansh Dental Clinic, we recommend bringing your child as soon as their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday – whichever comes first.
This early visit helps us ensure that your child’s teeth and gums are developing properly. It also sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy oral habits.
Is It Going to Be Scary for the Child? Absolutely Not!
At Ansh Dental Clinic, we take special care to make dental visits fun and fear-free for kids. Here’s how we do it:
• Our dental setup is calm and child-friendly.
• We don’t rush. We talk to your child, show them the instruments, and build comfort.
• If needed, we allow the child to sit in the parent’s lap during the check-up.
• This isn’t a treatment session – it’s a gentle introduction. Think of it as a “getting-to-know” session between your child and the dentist.
What Happens During the First Visit?
The first visit is usually short and very simple. It includes:
• A quick look at the teeth, gums, and jaw
• Checking for proper eruption and alignment of teeth
• Discussion about thumb sucking or bottle-feeding habits
• Tips for brushing, diet, and dental care at home
If everything looks healthy, that’s great! If not, we’ll suggest early solutions before any problem worsens.
Why Early Dental Visits Matter
You may think milk teeth are temporary, so why bother? But here’s the truth:
• Healthy milk teeth ensure proper chewing and nutrition
• They guide permanent teeth into the right position
• Early checkups help spot problems like cavities or misaligned teeth early
By starting dental visits early, your child becomes comfortable with dental care and grows up without fear of dentists.
Tips to Prepare Your Child for Their First Visit
• Talk positively about dentists – avoid saying words like “pain” or “injection”.
• Read picture books about visiting the dentist.
• Play pretend dentist at home to make it familiar.
• Avoid bribes or threats. Keep it normal and light-hearted.
