As we grow into adults, our lives start to move in new directions that lead us to taking on more responsibilities; the largest of which that many of us experience is settling down with a partner to start and raise a family. To many of us, this is one of the most rewarding activities we can take part in, as raising children is one of those life challenges that we find enjoyable and seems to make our lives forefield and complete.
As parents, we find ourselves consumed with the idea of ensuring we do our best to be certain that we are allowing our children to grow up in as healthy a way as possible, this leads us to ensure that we teach our children the importance of taking care of every aspect of their body’s health, including their oral health. You will teach your children the importance of cleaning their teeth twice a day, so that they grow up with strong and healthy teeth as well as a high standard of oral hygiene. This is not the only way you can help your children to grow to have high oral health standards; in addition, you can introduce them to a dentist in Molesey when you feel they are ready.
At Smilesence, our warm and friendly staff are here to help you and your children to access the dental care needed to ensure your entire family has the best oral health and hygiene standards that they possibly can.
Your child’s first visit
Knowing at what age you should introduce your child to a dentist in Molesey has not one easy answer, as every child is an individual and they all mature at different rates which can affect the way they understand different concepts and ideas. We would ask you to trust your own judgement as we are sure you will know when your child is ready to visit a dental practice for their first oral health checkup.
We would encourage you to talk to your children while they are in the comfort of home about what they can expect when they first visit a dental practice, as this may help to prepare them for when they enter an environment that may appear strange to them. When you turn up at the practice, you may find that your child feels nervous, if so we would ask you to mention this to a member of reception staff as we are able to have a dental nurse sit down with you and your child to talk about why they may be worried.
It is vital that all children we meet and treat understand that we are not going to harm them, they need to know that our only wish is to help them look after their teeth and gums as we want them to grow up with good and strong teeth. We want your child to walk away from their first appointment with us in a positive mood, that way they will be happy to keep returning.
