For most parents, a child’s oral health is one of the most important things to get right and getting an infant into a good routine can often prove difficult. Regular dental exams, whilst they are still young, will help protect your child’s teeth, give your child a great smile and prevents future dental problems as well as get them into good habits that should sustain them throughout life.
While there are lots of demands on people’s finances, your child’s dental health should be high on your list of priorities and when you give your child a great smile you can feel happy knowing that their general health is also being taken care of.
Here at Tracey Bell Dental clinics, we understand that getting children familiarised with visiting the dentist is often half the battle. You should aim to have your child’s first visit to the dentist around their first birthday. After 5 years of age, kids should then start having regular, 6 monthly check-ups.
At Tracey Bell Dental clinics, we provide a pleasant and child friendly environment that will take any stress out of a visit to the dentist and you’ll be pleased to know that children’s check-ups are free. So Give your child a great smile.
What to expect from your first visit to Tracey Bell Dental clinic
When you visit any of our practices on Isle of Man, Liverpool or Birkdale, we will try to give you as much information about your child’s dental health as possible. It is not just about teeth, it is also affected by diet and having good eating habits will make sure your child doesn’t encounter problems as they grow.
Children go through a number of defined stages as they develop, such as teething and the growth of milk teeth. We will explain how to reduce bad oral habits like thumb sucking and ways to avoid accidents that can harm the teeth. Ask us anything and we’ll be happy to answer all your questions.
On your first visit, we will run you through how your child’s teeth are likely to develop over the years and what to look out for and suggest a follow up schedule of care. Our dentist may well clean your child’s teeth on your first visit, also they may apply fluoride if they think your child is at a greater risk of cavities.
Your first visit to the dentist can be challenging, for the child and for the parent, so we try to make it as comforting and welcoming as possible. At Tracey Bell Dental clinics we believe that being informed is a big part in maintaining good oral hygiene. From the first dental exam, we aim to provide a child friendly environment that will help prevent future dental problems and giving your child a great smile just as they deserve.
