Start your child’s oral health journey early, as this helps build a strong foundation for healthy teeth. At Truly Dental, we focus on delivering high-quality care for every child; moreover, we ensure each visit feels comfortable and reassuring. Our team consistently dedicates time and attention to maintain excellence in treatment, service, and patient care.
In addition, our dentists have extensive experience in treating children, and they genuinely enjoy helping young patients feel safe and relaxed. As a result, we create a friendly, calm, and enjoyable environment that not only reduces anxiety but also encourages lifelong healthy dental habits.
Although a child’s first dental visit may feel unfamiliar, it does not need to be frightening. Instead, our dentists work patiently at your child’s pace; therefore, they ensure a smooth, gentle, and completely pain-free experience.
Your dentist will guide you on the best and easiest ways to develop healthy oral habits that benefit your child throughout their life.
Our recommendations:
Schedule your child’s first dental visit by the age of one. If your child is older, don’t worry—it is never too late to focus on their oral health.
Visit the dentist at least twice a year for regular check-ups.
Follow your dentist’s advice on preventive treatments such as Fissure Sealants and Scale and Polish.
Limit sugary snacks and drinks to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
For children under two years, brush their teeth using a toothbrush and water. Use fluoridated toothpaste only if your dentist recommends it.
For children aged two to six, use a pea-sized amount of 1000 ppm fluoridated toothpaste.
For children seven years and older, use a pea-sized amount of 1450 ppm fluoridated toothpaste.
Parents should supervise brushing until the child turns seven.
We recommend bringing your child to the dentist by their first birthday. Early visits help children become comfortable with the dental environment and encourage preventive care before complex treatment becomes necessary.
No matter your child’s age, our team will ensure they feel relaxed and welcomed in a completely judgment-free environment.
If your child may need braces, it is best to schedule the first orthodontic assessment between 8 and 9 years of age so the dentist can plan the treatment early.
