Frequently Asked Questions
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth erupting. This early visit allows the dentist to assess your child’s oral development, identify any potential problems, and begin establishing a positive relationship with the dentist.
After the initial visit at age one, the ADA recommends that children visit the dentist for regular checkups and cleanings every six months. This frequency allows the dentist to monitor your child’s oral health closely, address any issues early on, and help them develop good oral hygiene habits.
The first dental visit is typically short and focused on making your child feel comfortable and familiar with the dental environment. The dentist will examine your child’s teeth and gums, assess their oral development, and answer any questions you may have. They may also recommend a gentle cleaning.
Brushing your child’s teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste is essential for preventing tooth decay. Start brushing as soon as your child’s first tooth erupts, and use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Let your child watch you brush your teeth to set a good example..
If your child chips a tooth, try and clean the area with lukewarm water. Depending on how the injury happened, we recommend your child be first examined by the Emergency Department at the Base Hospital. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling if necessary. Then, contact your dentist as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for an evaluation and treatment.
Some children experience anxiety about going to the dentist. Here are some tips to help your child overcome their fear:
- Talk about the dentist in a positive way.
- Let your child watch you brush and floss your teeth.
- Read Australian children’s books about going to the dentist, such as “The Tooth Fairy’s Busy Night” by Anna Walker or “Adventures of the Little Koala and the Dentist” by Sarah Davies.
- Schedule a “get-acquainted” visit where your child can meet the dentist and staff.
- Stay calm and positive during your child’s dental visit.
