Protecting your child’s teeth is one of the 1st steps you can take to ensure a lifetime of good health.
It is important for you to visit a pedodontist early because it will affect your child’s life. And establish a dental home with us to avoid dental complications.
When should you plan the 1st dental visit for your child ?
The American dental association and the American academy of pediatric dentistry says that a child’s 1st dental visit should occur when his/her 1st tooth erupts or during his /her 1st birthday which ever is earlier.
Fact sheet
At this time your pedodontist will inform you about:
- Baby bottle syndrome
- Early childhood caries
- Infant feeding practices
- Oral cavity cleaning habits
- Teething
- Pacifier habits
- Finger/ thumb sucking, any other oral habits if relevant., etc
PREPARE YOUR CHILD
Schedule mostly a morning visit as young children tend to be more alert and fresh in mornings.
Prepare a preschooler/older child for the visit by giving him/her a general idea about why we are visiting the pedodontist and what to expect there. Build excitement and understanding related to the visit.
PREPARE YOURSELF
If you have dental anxieties, try not to transfer those to your child. Parents should stay calm and give full support while in the exam room. Children do pick up parents anxieties and become more anxious themselves. Other than this, remember to ask your doubts and know the treatment planned in detailed.
PREPARE YOUR PEDODONTIST
Let know the dentist about your child’s complete health history
Any past unhappy dental visit experiences to be shared so that we can take that into account and plan this visit differently. Any medications your child is on Let know that too. Any allergies or behaviour change stimulus to be avoid let know all of that previously itself.

THE 1ST VISIT:
What we suggest is a short and sweet 1st dental visit it should no last more than 30 45 min. Depending on your child age the visit may include a full exam of the teeth, shooting xrays of deep cavitated teeth , jaw, bite gums and oral tissues check , checking growth and development.
If needed we might plan a small teeth cleaning session on the same day along with topical fluoride application on all teeth. This gives us an idea how is your child reacting to the stimulus entering in his/her mouth: water, Air, instruments etc. This helps to plan the further invasive procedures if any in that way or to make any changes and manage your child accordingly; which can be using Happy gas sedation, oral sedation, IV sedation, General Anesthesia.
