Our kids dental appointments at Today’s Dentistry are super fun! Your child’s dental appointment will differ depending on their age. For our littlest patients, we focus on creating a really positive relationship with your child so they feel confident and excited to return to the dentist. We count their teeth and check for any issues, and teach them how to care for their teeth properly.
We use disclosing gel during every child’s appointment to show our kiddies where the plaque is building up on their teeth and then discuss ways to remove this or do oral hygiene instructions to show them what to do to clean it.
For older children, we thoroughly assess their teeth and gum health and professionally clean their teeth too. Ultimately, we will talk you and your child through each step of their appointment so they understand what’s happening and always feel confident.
Our Tell, Show, Do Protocol means your child will always know what’s happening. First, we tell them what we’re going to do. Next, we show them what we’re going to do. And only then do we perform the procedure. Plus they can pause treatment at any time by simply raising their hand.
We also provide an end of appointment patient summary sheet for all patients - with photos taken from during the appointment - and personalised tips for maintaining their oral health. Plus, each child gets a take home kit with a new toothbrush, floss, toothpaste and maybe even a surprise!
