Our children’s dentist in Casino strongly emphasises prevention. We aim for children to start out with healthy smiles and maintain them for life, and preventative dentistry may be the best way to achieve that objective.

About Your Child’s First Dental Visit

We encourage parents and caregivers to bring children to the dentist when the first tooth erupts. Of course, if you have concerns before that happens, we’re happy to book your baby to see the dentist.

Seeing children from an early age helps them feel more comfortable at the dentist and less afraid. Through early appointments, we may lower risks for dental phobia, which can dramatically impact dental health in adulthood.

Our team helps ensure your child views the dental office positively by making their first visits fun—a ride in the dental chair and a friendly chat with the team using age-appropriate language.

Of course, we begin monitoring your child’s oral development from the first visit, but to them, it just feels like fun or like a game with the team.

We also share advice for at-home care, including tooth care, thumb sucking, teething tips, and more. And we’re always available if you have questions along the way.

Preventative Dentistry for the Ageing Child

  • Dental Check-Ups
  • Dental Cleans
  • Fissure Sealants
  • Fluoride Treatments

We also help transition older children into independent brushing when the time comes.

Ideally, the more diligent the prevention, the more likely your child is to avoid oral health issues like chronic tooth decay.
