Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
We generally recommend bringing your child for their very first visit around the time their first tooth appears, or no later than their first birthday. This early introduction allows us to check development and helps your child become comfortable in the dental environment, setting the stage for a positive lifelong relationship with oral care.
The first visit is typically a gentle, relaxed introduction. We will perform a simple visual check of the teeth and gums, focusing on making your child feel safe and happy. It is a fantastic opportunity for you to ask questions about diet and hygiene, and for us to simply say hello.
The best way to prepare is to keep things positive and casual. Avoid using scary words like “needle” or “hurt,” and instead focus on the fun aspect, like counting teeth. Our team is expert at calming fears during the visit itself.
Our practice combines clinical excellence with an extraordinarily warm, patient-first approach. We understand the unique needs of young patients and prioritise building trust, ensuring your child receives the highest quality, most reassuring care possible for their developing smile.
For most children, we recommend scheduling check-ups and cleanings every six months. Regular visits for Children’s dentistry in Brighton allow us to monitor the development of their teeth and jaws closely, catch any potential issues like early decay before they worsen, and provide professional cleaning and preventative care exactly when they need it most.
