Building Healthy Smiles from the Start
Help your child develop strong oral hygiene habits early and support their progress as they grow into a confident smile. At Dentistry @ Queenston, we understand that caring for kids requires patience and a gentle approach. A healthy smile is a vital part of childhood, and with guidance tailored to your child’s needs, Dr. Karamjot Kaur and our team can set them on the right path for a lifetime of excellent oral health.
Preparing for Your Child’s First Dental Visit
Help your child feel at ease by talking about their upcoming appointment in a positive way. The first visit is all about comfort, fun, and building trust with the dental team. Knowing what to expect can help reduce any nerves. Here’s what typically happens during this important first visit:
Talk and Listen
We begin by chatting with you and your child, explaining each step in friendly, kid-appropriate language. We introduce some of the dental tools and show that there is nothing to fear, creating a calm and welcoming experience.
Gentle Examination
Next, we carefully check your child’s gums, tongue, teeth, and overall oral health. This helps us identify any areas that might need extra care at home. We provide tips for daily care and make notes to monitor those spots during the next appointment.
Education and Guidance
We may ask your child to demonstrate how they brush, then offer gentle pointers to improve their technique. Our team is happy to answer any questions you or your child have about dental health, making sure everyone leaves confident and informed.
