Benefits of Children's Dentistry at Chic

Children’s dentistry offers essential care for developing smiles, helping establish healthy habits and prevent dental problems from an early age. Here’s what makes it an important choice.

Early Problem Detection

Regular children's dental visits allow us to identify potential issues such as tooth decay, developmental concerns, or bite problems before they become more complex and costly to treat.

Establishing Healthy Habits

We provide age-appropriate education about proper brushing, flossing, and dietary choices, helping children develop lifelong oral hygiene habits that will protect their teeth and gums.

Preventing Future Complications

Through preventative treatments like fluoride applications and dental sealants, we help protect your child's teeth from decay and reduce the likelihood of needing extensive dental work later.

Supporting Overall Health

Good oral health in childhood contributes to better overall health, proper nutrition, clear speech development, and confidence in social situations as children grow.

Monitoring Growth and Development

We track your child's dental and jaw development, identifying any orthodontic concerns early and coordinating care with specialists when needed to ensure optimal oral health outcomes.

Personalised Care for Each Child

Every child is unique, and we tailor our approach to suit individual needs, temperaments, and developmental stages, ensuring each visit is appropriate and comfortable for your child.

When to Start Dental Care for Children?

Dental care should begin early — ideally as soon as your baby’s first tooth appears, or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early dental visits allow your dentist to check that teeth are developing properly and to catch any potential issues before they become bigger problems. It’s also a great opportunity to get advice on teething, brushing techniques, and healthy habits right from the start.

Yes, absolutely — in fact, age 4 is a perfect time to bring your child in if they haven’t already been. By this age, most children have a full set of baby teeth, and routine check-ups help ensure their teeth and jaws are developing properly. It’s also a great age to build familiarity and confidence in the dental chair in a fun, stress-free way.

Children can visit the dentist as early as 12 months old or when their first tooth erupts. The first visit is usually short and simple — more about getting your child comfortable and offering parents guidance than doing any extensive treatment. Starting early builds trust and helps kids view the dentist as a normal part of life.

Most children benefit from dental visits every six months. However, some children may require more frequent visits based on their individual risk factors, oral health status, or developmental needs. We’ll recommend the appropriate schedule for your child.

Children’s dental visits typically include a gentle examination of teeth and gums, professional cleaning appropriate for their age, fluoride treatment if recommended, and education about proper oral hygiene. We adapt our approach based on your child’s age and comfort level.

Children typically begin losing baby teeth around age 6, starting with the front teeth. The process continues until approximately age 12-13. We monitor this natural progression and can address any concerns about early or delayed tooth loss.

Yes, dental X-rays are safe when used appropriately. We only take X-rays when necessary for diagnosis and use modern digital equipment that minimises radiation exposure. Lead aprons and thyroid collars provide additional protection during the procedure.

Start with positive conversations about dental visits, read books about going to the dentist, and avoid using dental visits as threats or punishments. Our team is experienced in helping children feel comfortable and will work at your child’s pace.

Contact our practice immediately for guidance. Common childhood dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, chipped teeth, or severe toothache. We provide prompt care and guidance for managing dental trauma or urgent dental concerns.

Establish good oral hygiene early with regular brushing and flossing, limit sugary snacks and drinks, encourage drinking water, and maintain regular dental visits. We’ll provide specific guidance based on your child’s needs and age.

We monitor your child’s bite and tooth development during regular visits. If orthodontic concerns are identified, we can discuss timing and refer you to a qualified orthodontist when appropriate for your child’s specific needs.

Most children naturally stop these habits by age 2-4. Prolonged thumb sucking or pacifier use beyond age 3-4 may affect tooth development. We can provide guidance and strategies to help your child transition away from these habits.

Before teeth appear, clean gums with a soft, damp cloth. Once teeth emerge, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with water or a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste. We’ll demonstrate proper techniques during your visit.
