What is a Child’s First Dental Visit Like?
The first appointment will be an orientation to the dentist office. Along with meeting everyone, your child will learn about the dental equipment used during procedures.
We’ll explain what we’ll be doing and demonstrate how things work in a language your child can understand. You may be sure that if treatments are necessary, we’ll apply a delicate touch.

Benefits of Regular Dental Care for Kids
Easing anxiety. Introducing your child to the dentist’s office can help ease their worry if they are experiencing dental anxiety. They’ll realize there’s nothing to be afraid of and that they can be friends with the dental team.
Developing good oral hygiene habits. Your children will probably pick up early habits from seeing you and your family. Whether they are terrible or excellent, these habits will last a lifetime, so set a good example for others by practicing good hygiene.
Maintaining good oral health. Your kids will be able to avoid dental problems with regular dental care—which saves you on dental costs.
When Should I Take My Child to The Toronto Dentist?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends that kids be taken to the dentist for an assessment 6 months after their first tooth comes in. It’s never too late, though, to get your kids started on a lifetime of good dental care.
