Paediatric Dentistry
It is never too early to bring your kids in for a dental check up. As soon as the first teeth appear in the mouth at about 6 months the dental journey begins. Unfortunately most people's first dental visits were a result of pain, which, combined with anxiety leads to a negative mindset towards dentistry in general.
A good first dental experience can encourage a lifelong positive attitude toward oral care and dentistry.
