We focus on building trust with every visit, helping to reduce anxiety and making trips to the dentist something your child can actually look forward to.
When Should Your Child First Visit the Dentist?
We recommend bringing your child to see us around the time their first tooth appears. Early visits help your child become familiar with the dental setting and allow us to monitor their development from the beginning. These early check-ups play a key role in preventing dental issues and supporting healthy habits for the future.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Dental Visit at Mickleham Dental
At Mickleham Dental, we focus on making your child’s dental visit a calm, friendly, and positive experience. Here’s what typically happens during their appointment:
Comprehensive Check-Up
We begin with a detailed examination of your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw development to assess their overall oral health.
X-rays and Diagnostic Imaging (if needed)
If clinically necessary, we may take digital X-rays to check for cavities, monitor tooth development, or spot any underlying concerns.
Gentle Dental Cleaning
Our team provides a thorough yet gentle clean to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains—helping to keep young smiles bright and healthy.
Oral Care Guidance
We take time to educate your child (and you) about proper brushing, flossing techniques, and the role of nutrition in maintaining healthy teeth.
Protective Treatments
Preventive options such as fluoride treatments or fissure sealants may be recommended to strengthen and protect developing teeth.
Personalised Care Plan
If any issues are found, we’ll discuss them with you and outline a tailored treatment plan, answering all your questions along the way.
Ongoing Care
We’ll arrange future visits as needed, whether for treatment or routine check-ups, to stay on top of your child’s oral health.
