 Your child’s first visit
It is important that a parent or caregiver is with a child for their first visit so that we can discuss any findings with you.
While examining your child’s teeth we ask that you observe passively, children are easily distracted and will respond to a parent’s voice.
Your child’s first visit will include a thorough dental examination, radiographs (x-rays) may also be taken.
Subsequent visits will then be arranged for complete dental treatment, including oral hygiene and risk assessment for the prevention of future dental disease.
Unless a patient has received trauma or is experiencing symptoms no treatment will be conducted at the first visit.

Treatment is timed and staged to suit each individual patients under negotiation with the patient and family. |

Oral hygiene visits
Oral hygiene instruction, dietary advice, cleaning, fluoride and dental sealants are recognised internationally as being integral for maintaining goor oral health. Oral hygiene visits are also used as a way of desensitizing children to dental care. Saliva testing and plaque analysis may also be used. |
