Children's Dental Checkup in a nutshell
Bright smiles start with regular checkups
The child will meet the dentist and the dental nurse. The team will spend time building a rapport, talking to the child at their level and using positive language to create trust.
When your child is ready, we will carefully look at their teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, jaw development, and the muscles in their mouth.
We use the Tell - Show - Do technique. To create a positive experience and take it at each child's pace.
The dentist will discuss the findings and advise you on the dental habits and their diet.
We will take x-rays if necessary. We use the best X-ray machines that give us clear pictures while keeping them safe with the smallest amount of radiation.
