It is recommended that a child’s first visit to the dentist should be when the first tooth erupts in the mouth but no later than age two.
Children who have regular check-ups are more comfortable visiting the dentist and have fewer dental problems. The dentist will recommend appointments every 6 to 12 months. As the visits progress and your child is exposed to different aspects of dental treatments and care, they will enjoy visiting the dentist and look forward to their next visit.
Our dentists and staff at Kitchener Street Dental are trained in treating children of all ages and will work with you and your child to ensure they have a fun and exciting dental experience.

It is recommended that you only introduce adult-strength fluoride toothpaste to your child when they are over the age of 6. From 18 months old all the way through to 6 years old, your child should only be using child-strength toothpaste.
It is important that you assist your child with brushing and flossing their teeth from when they are a baby and all the way through to 8 years of age. Once your child is 8 years old, they can start to brush their own teeth. It can be a good idea to continue to watch them and make sure they brush their teeth correctly.
To help with the time, you can either use a smartphone app that reminds them to brush for at least 2 minutes or choose one of their favourite songs to brush along to.

Once the first dental check-up and clean is done, it is very important for children to attend regular dental check-ups at least every three to six months to identify any problems associated with the child’s oral health and treat it quickly. Dentists will also be able to train children to follow a good cleaning routine to improve and maintain their oral health from a young age.
Primary teeth are the first set of teeth that develop in the mouth when you are a child. It is also known as ‘milk teeth’. You may develop primary teeth before your permanent teeth form when you are much older.
