Children
Children’s Preventative Dental Clinic
At Triangle Dental, we believe that prevention of tooth decay and gum disease is better than cure. The earlier we learn how to look after our oral health, the better. When you book an appointment at Triangle Dental, your child will either be seen directly by your dentist or will be booked onto our preventive dental clinic.
At our preventative dental clinic, your child will still have a check-up with the dentist, however, the majority of the appointment will be spent with one of our oral health educators. Here, they will talk to your child about how to clean better using child-friendly methods and props. They will also discuss other important topics such as diet and also give you a free toothbrush, including a practical lesson in how to use it.
When should my child start visiting the dentist?
We recommend that children see the dentist from an early age – when the first teeth start appearing. This can often be as early as 6 months. We find that this practice is very good at promoting familiarisation with being in a dental practice and that children are not scared of the Dentist as they grow up.
