Children’s dentist in Almere
Is your child visiting the dentist for the very first time? That’s exciting! Not only for your child, but perhaps for you as well. Parents often have many questions about a first visit to the children’s dentist. Is my child old enough? Will my child sit still long enough? Will my child even open his or her mouth? We do our utmost to make sure your child is comfortable on their visit to Tandarts Almere and that it is fun and interesting for them.
At what age can my child have a first dental visit?
We recommend scheduling a first visit early: after the first tooth has erupted. This allows your child to get used to a dental visit quickly. When your child visits the dentist regularly and from an early age, it reduces the risk of cavities. According to research, most children do not see their first dentist or school dentist until the age of five. While it has been scientifically proven that future problems can be prevented as early as the breakthrough of the first teeth.
This is because everything that happens to the baby teeth affects the adult teeth. By teaching strong brushing and eating habits as early as possible and giving advice on the right toothpaste, the children’s dentist is ahead of as many problems as possible.
How do I go to the first visit with my child well prepared?
It is important to prepare your child well for the first visit. Yet, we recommend not doing so in too much detail. The child’s brain is creative. Children are therefore capable of creating both very beautiful and very scary fantasy worlds. You can therefore unintentionally feed their fears prior to their first dental visit.
In fact, children can easily get a little scared of all that information and ideas. This may well make it harder to get or keep your child in the treatment chair. Many parents also wonder if their children will sit still. Don’t worry about that: children’s dentists have all sorts of tricks for this.
