Hello Prospective Patient,

You are always in the hands of an experienced Pediatric Dentist at Dove Dental Clinic. We are experts in children’s dental health. When your child attains three years of age, we recommend they have their first dental hygiene check-up by visiting a specialist in children dentistry.

Our staff is highly trained and experienced in children dentistry, and will make their initial visit comfortable, easy and fun. At this visit, we want to examine your child's teeth and gums, clean their teeth, apply topical fluoride and take appropriate x-rays.

If, on careful examination, it is established that treatment is required, we always ensure that each step of the procedure will be patiently explained in a language your child can understand, so that they know exactly what to expect. We take every step to ensure that your child’s visit to the dentist is a pleasant and interesting experience.

Many parents ask…. How can I encourage good dental habits with my child?
• Children from 6 months to 6 years old need to start brushing their teeth themselves. It is important that all teeth are brushed sufficiently. Encourage your child to do this themselves, but have mom or dad double check by giving a quick brush also or do it alongside them to show them how.
• Children between 7 and 12 years old - At this age, your child should know what to do, but it is vital to keep making sure they floss and brush each morning and night accurately.
• Children between 12 and 18 years old - This is a critical time for dental health as most children with healthy teeth don't understand the consequences of slipping up on good habits. Be sure your child is aware that lack of maintaining oral health will cause issues later in their lives.
• Be sure to look out for signs of trouble as the early development of children will determine how their teeth develop. Ill-alignment, overbite, underbite and malocclusions need to be fixed with early orthodontics around the age of 8 years old.

Let us help your children establish healthy habits early for a lifetime of dental health! We look forward to seeing you in our clinic.
