Do babies need to go to the dentist?

As soon the first baby teeth erupt, children need dental care. The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist within 6 months of the first tooth erupting, or by the time they are a year old.

Why are primary (baby) teeth important?

Primary teeth are important for a few different reasons. First of all, they make it possible for your child to properly consume and digest all the nutrients they need to be healthy. They also function as a guide for emerging permanent (adult) teeth.

At what age should children have their first dental check-up?

The consensus among dental professionals is that children should visit the dentist for the first time within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth, by the time they turn 1. Prevention and treatment starting this early will give your child a great head start when it comes to life-long oral health.

When should I start brushing my child’s teeth?

You can start brushing your child’s teeth as soon as the first teeth start to emerge, with a soft toothbrush and either water or a tiny dab of toothpaste. Before the teeth begin to emerge, you can clean your baby’s gums after meals using a soft cloth and water.

Can SmileTown Dentistry treat children with anxiety or special needs?

We certainly do! At SmileTown Dentistry, we have experience treating children across a wide spectrum of needs. If you are the parent of a nervous child or one with special needs, and you’re anxious about his or her oral health, we can help.
