Your Child's First Dental Visit: When and What to Expect

Starting Early for Lifelong Health

The Australian Dental Association recommends first visits by age one or when the first tooth appears. Early visits establish comfort with dental care.

What Happens

We examine emerging teeth gently. We check for early issues. We discuss feeding, cleaning, and habits like thumb-sucking. The visit is short and positive—building excitement rather than fear.

Preparing Your Child

Read positive books about dentists. Play pretend dental visits. Stay calm and positive yourself. Avoid mentioning pain or needles. Bring a comfort item if helpful.
