The Exciting Child-Friendly Dental Visit

It’s important for kids to enjoy their dental appointment. Fortunately, our dentists will help kids feel more at ease. Our office is child friendly. We have toys and books to keep your little ones occupied even before they sit on the dental chair. Feel free to send your kids early on; the sooner kids have their first few appointments, the more likely they will be just fine. Expectation is key. Knowing what to expect is an integral aspect of overall success.

Children who come to our office feel right at home. Our office is equipped with visually stimulating pictures to help your kids feel comfortable. There’s nothing children want more than a place to enjoy their time while feeling content. That is the precise message we give them when walking through the door.

Fullerton dentists at Creative Smiles have worked with plenty of children and make every one of them feel at home. There’s nothing more important in our office than watching a child beam with delight and a genuine smile after their dental visit with us.

Childrens Dentistry

We also take the time to explain exactly what our dentists will be doing in a way the children understand. There’s also no rush whatsoever. A child who walks in only slightly nervous will just feel added pressure and tension in a frenzied environment. That is the opposite of what we have in mind. We welcome children and provide a tranquil environment to help allay their fears. Questions are encouraged and addressed with compassion. Quality treatment for your children is our top priority. So join us with your children. You’ll be glad you did.

The Importance of Taking Your Children to the Dentist

Regularly taking your children to the dentist remains an important part of your job as a parent. An early visit with us ensures that baby teeth come in the correct path, which will later be used by their permanent teeth. Additionally, today’s children have far more access to sugar, processed foods and liquids. Regular dental visits will prevent tooth decay and cavities that may result in pain for your child. During these visits one of our dental hygienists will remove plaque, floss and brush your child’s teeth so our dentist can inspect their mouth for dental caries or cavities. Your child will also receive a fluoride treatment to protect their teeth from decay. Most importantly, regular visits to our dental office will teach your child good dental habits early in life, so they carry them into adulthood.

Children Dentistry – FAQs

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should have their fist dental check-up immediately after they have their first tooth or at their first birthday — whichever comes first. Such an early visit allows dentists to make sure that your child builds healthy dental habits and that their baby teeth are following the right path as they come in.
