Your Smile Is Our Success! Book Your Next Checkup With Our Smile Experts!
A child’s first dental visit sets the tone for a lifetime of oral health. At Family Dental Care of Tottenham, we’re committed to making your child’s first appointment a positive, gentle, and fun experience—for both them and you. We create a welcoming space where little smiles feel safe, supported, and excited to come back.
We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by age one, or within six months of their first tooth coming in. These early visits aren’t just about checking teeth—they help your child feel comfortable at the dentist and allow us to catch any potential issues before they become bigger concerns.
Our goal is to build trust, educate parents, and make dental care part of your child’s routine in a fun and pressure-free way.
Your child’s first appointment is more about comfort and familiarity than treatment. We’ll go at your child’s pace and adjust the visit based on their age, personality, and needs.
Here’s what you can expect:
We may do a gentle cleaning or fluoride treatment if your child is ready—but only if they’re comfortable.
Starting dental visits early helps:
Regular visits from a young age help your child see dental care as a normal, friendly part of life.
We’re here to make things easy and enjoyable for you and your child.
Many insurance plans cover children’s dental exams, cleanings, and fluoride. We’ll help you understand your benefits and submit claims on your behalf.
Just your child and any questions you may have! You’re welcome to bring a toy, blanket, or soother if it helps your child feel at ease.
If your child is comfortable, we may do a light cleaning and apply fluoride. But if not, we’ll focus on helping them feel confident and try again next time.
That’s totally normal. We work at your child’s pace and never rush. Our team uses calm voices, gentle explanations, and age-appropriate language to help your child feel safe.
We recommend booking by age one or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help us monitor development and get your child used to the dental setting.
At our office, your well-being matters. We want to make sure you always feel great about your oral health and are happy with your smile. Whether you're a new patient or you've been with us for a long time, we go above and beyond to make sure every visit is the best yet!
