When should your child visit the dentist?
Your child's complete set of primary teeth typically emerges between the ages of 21 months and three years. You should schedule their first dental checkup as soon as you see the first tooth.
The sooner your child starts seeing the dentist, the easier it will be for them to not only feel comfortable at our clinic but also understand oral hygiene routines, making future visits smoother.
During their initial visit, we can diagnose, monitor, and address any emerging issues.
Much like adults, children should have a professional dental examination and hygiene cleaning every six months.
Every child is different, which means some may need more frequent dental visits. This might be necessary if they have oral health issues that require careful monitoring.
Dental Care With Your Kids in Mind
The experiences children have with their dentist create a foundation for their attitude toward oral health and can influence them throughout their lives as they learn to care for their smiles. This is why our dental team at South Cariboo Dental Clinic is dedicated to ensuring that your child feels comfortable during their first visits.
Dental Services for Children
With professional cleanings and exams, children can learn to take care of their smiles and maintain good oral health. This is why early appointments are important.

Oral Hygiene & Prevention
Tooth decay can become a concern when your child's teeth start to break through the gums. For younger patients, our primary objective is to prevent decay and cavities.
Brushing & Flossing
Similar to adult teeth, baby teeth also require brushing twice daily. Start brushing your infant's teeth as soon as they begin to appear.
You should also floss your child's baby teeth once per day as soon as they have two teeth side by side.
