Early Dental Visits Help Support Lifelong Oral Health!
River Harmony Dental believes that children should start their dental experience at an early age, which prepares them for a lifetime of good oral care and hygiene. We follow the Canadian Dental Association’s recommendation that children have an assessment by a dentist within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by one year of age, whichever one comes first.
River Harmony Dental is of the belief that the first few experiences at the dentist helps to establish a basis for a lifetime of consistent and routine oral care. Dental visits should be fun and enjoyable, while also informative and educational. We place a strong emphasis on preventative dentistry, helping children avoid tooth and gum problems in the future, while inspiring them to take better care of their teeth. When your child’s first tooth appears, it is time for an examination by a dentist.
During Your Child’s First Visit, the Dentist Will:
- Take your child for a tour of the office
- Let them play in the chair, introduce them to the items that may be used
- Put on cartoons for them on the screens
- Review with them what the dentist will be doing during their visit
- Speak positively about their own dental experience
- Examine their teeth, mouth, and gums
- Evaluate any adverse habits like thumb sucking
- Check to see if they require fluoride
- Educate them about cleaning their teeth and gums
- Suggest to you a schedule for their regular dental visits
