Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend the first dental visit when the first tooth erupts or by age 1, whichever comes first. Early visits help acclimatise children to the dental environment and allow us to monitor development closely.
Absolutely. Baby (primary) teeth hold space for permanent teeth, help with speech development, and allow proper chewing. Untreated decay in baby teeth can cause pain, infection, and affect the development of permanent teeth.
Limit sugary foods and drinks, brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste from the first tooth, and start flossing when teeth touch. Regular dental check-ups are essential for catching problems early.
Orthodontic assessment is typically done around age 7–8 when the mix of baby and adult teeth allows us to identify potential alignment issues. Active treatment usually begins between 10–14 years of age.
