The first “regular” visit with the dentist should be just after your child’s third birthday. The first dental visit is usually short and involves very simple treatment. At I love my dentist, our pediatric specialist will gently examine your child's teeth and gums.

Other actions that may take place during your kid’s first visit are:

• We will clean your child’s teeth and apply topical fluoride to help protect the teeth against decay.
• X-rays may be taken, to reveal decay and check on the progress of your child’s permanent teeth under the gums.
• We will go over your child’s overall oral health with you, and advise the best way to take care of their teeth.
• We use the latest in dental sealant to protect your child’s teeth. Dental sealants are space-age plastics that are bonded to the chewing surfaces of decay-prone back teeth.

Without proper dental care, children face possible tooth decay and oral diseases that can cause them pain and complications throughout their lives. Currently, early childhood cavities are 5 times more common in children than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever.
