Who this is for
Children from the time their first baby tooth appears — roughly 6 months — through to their teenage years.
Early dental visits matter. Not because teeth will fall out anyway, but because they establish the habit, catch problems early, and make dental visits something children grow up feeling calm about. A child who has a bad experience early in life can grow into an adult who avoids the dentist for years.
We’re careful to make sure that doesn’t happen.
What to expect
First visits (young children): Short and gentle. We check the teeth, count them, look for signs of decay, and talk to the parents. No dramatic procedures on first visits — the goal is familiarity and trust.
Routine check-ups: As children get older, visits include cleaning, a fluoride application, and checking how adult teeth are coming in. If anything needs attention, we explain it to the child first in words they understand, then to the parent.
Fillings and treatment: If a cavity needs a filling, we take it slowly. We explain what we’re doing before we do it. We stop if a child is distressed and don’t rush. We use topical anaesthetic (the gel that numbs the surface before the injection) every time.
Does it hurt?
For routine check-ups: no.
For fillings or other treatment: we numb the area thoroughly. The injection itself may pinch for a second. After that, the child shouldn’t feel pain. If they do, we stop and add more.
We don’t push through pain. Ever.
How long it takes
30–45 minutes for a routine visit. Slightly longer if a filling is involved.

When to bring a child for the first time
The simple answer: when their first tooth comes in, or by their first birthday — whichever comes first. This might seem too early, but it establishes the routine and lets us spot early decay.
If your child is older and hasn’t been in before, that’s fine too. Bring them in before there’s a problem, if you can. Emergency dental treatment in a frightened child is harder for everyone.
Helping your child before the visit
- Don’t say “it won’t hurt” — if something does pinch, they’ll feel lied to
- Do say “the dentist will look at your teeth and tell you what’s going on”
- Don’t use the dentist as a threat (“eat your vegetables or the dentist will pull your teeth”)
- Bring them with you when you have a routine check-up first — seeing a parent in the chair without drama helps
After the visit
If treatment was done under anaesthetic: remind the child not to bite their cheek or lip — they won’t feel it but it’ll hurt later when the numbness wears off. Watch them for an hour or so after the visit.
We’ll tell you if any follow-up is needed.
