Frequently asked questions
At what age should I bring my child for the first time?
Before the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Although it seems early, this visit allows us to assess development, detect risks, and guide parents.
What if my child cries or won't open their mouth?
It is completely normal. We don't force anything that isn't an emergency. Building trust is part of the process, and we respect each child's pace.
How should I prepare my child for the visit?
Talk about it naturally, avoid phrases like 'it won't hurt.' You can play dentist at home with a toothbrush and a stuffed animal. Choose a time when they are rested and fed.
