When should you take your child to the dentist???

Here at Windsor Dental we are often asked by patients 'When is the best time for me to bring my baby to come and have their teeth checked?'... So here is the answer for you inquisitive excited new parents...

Your child's first visit to the dentist should happen before their first birthday. Bringing them in at such an early age will help your child become accustomed to having their teeth checked and also potentially eliminate any fear they may have later on in life if any treatment is needed. By introducing your child to the dental environment early, we as dentists are also able to advise you as a parent how you should be looking after your child's teeth and prevent problems such as tooth decay. We are able to give you dietary advice and also via the application of fluoride onto your child's teeth prevent any teeth from decaying, beyond the point of repair ( Fluoride is incredible in the prevention of tooth decay).

Bringing your child to see us at Windsor Dental leads to a lifetime of good oral care habits and acclimatises your child to the dental office, therefore reducing anxiety and fear.

I hope this has helped all of our new parents in when to bring their child to the dentist.
