Child-friendly Dentist In Albany
Outstanding Children’s Dentistry
Most kids don’t enjoy dental appointments, which is why we make it our business to ensure that when your child visits our dentist in Albany, they have a positive experience.
Give Your Child the Best Start
Kids’ teeth need the same attention and care as adults—but with some extra understanding. Children’s dentists are trained specifically to care for children’s teeth and know how to handle younger patients. Bringing your little one to meet the dentist from a very early age will familiarise them with the sights and sounds of a dental clinic—and get them used to someone looking inside their mouth. We work alongside parents to ensure they are more than satisfied with kids dentistry at our Albany clinic.
FAQ’S
What happens during my child's first visit to the dentist?
We're happy for young children to sit on their parent's laps while our dentist checks their teeth and gums for any possible problems and evaluates their dental health. We may also offer them a ride in our Albany dentist's chair, depending on their age!
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Parents are advised to book six-monthly appointments for their children, unless our Albany dentist advises them otherwise.
When should I start cleaning my child's teeth?
You can start cleaning your child's teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts. Be sure to use a small, soft-bristled brush and child's toothpaste if you are worried about your child ingesting too much fluoride.
Is thumbsucking harmful to my child's teeth?
Thumb and dummy sucking habits that go on for an extended time can create crooked, crowded teeth or bite problems. If your child is still sucking their thumbs or fingers when their permanent teeth arrive, our Albany dentist may recommend a mouth appliance, but most children stop these habits on their own.
