Your three-year-old child should visit the dentist every six months for preventive teeth cleanings and checkups, just like you do. Regular dental visits are crucial for your child's dental health and should be a priority.
Read on for more on the importance of children's dentistry and what to expect at your child's dental visits.
What Happens During Your Child's Dental Visit?
First and foremost, our team makes every effort to create a positive and welcoming environment for every child. We understand that these positive first experiences at the dentist are crucial to setting your child up for successful future dental visits.
We'll never do a procedure, including a teeth cleaning, if your little one isn't completely prepared for it. We use the show, tell, do method of explaining exactly what will happen during their procedure and showing them the tools we will use before starting any treatment.
Most three-year-olds are usually ready for a teeth cleaning and are often excited to learn more about their dental health. This reassurance can help parents feel more confident about their child's preparedness and eagerness for the procedure.
