Questions from parents
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A common guideline is around the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. If that time has passed, you can still book. The dentist can see children at any age.
What if my child is scared of the dentist?
Tell the team when you call. They can adjust explanations, pacing and appointment length, and discuss comfort options. Several short visits sometimes work better than one long one.
