A child’s first visit sets the tone for future oral health. The goal is to keep it simple, gentle, and positive.
Schedule at a time when your child is well-rested. Bring comfort items and avoid using scary words like “pain” or “needle.”
The dentist will typically check teeth and gums, discuss brushing habits, and give age-appropriate guidance for parents.
At home, brush twice daily with a smear/pea-sized fluoride toothpaste (based on age), and make it a fun routine.
