Kids dentistry

Milk teeth matter. They help your child chew, speak clearly and hold space for the adult teeth. Decay in milk teeth can still cause pain and infection.

We keep children’s visits calm and short, explain each step in simple words, and involve parents throughout.

  • Your child complains of tooth pain or avoids chewing on one side
  • Swelling on the gum or face
  • A tooth that was knocked or chipped in a fall
  • Milk teeth that are not falling out when adult teeth come in behind them

    Your child meets the dentist and sees the chair and tools before anything starts.

    A gentle look at the teeth, gums and bite.

  3. 3

    Treatment if needed

    Cavities are treated with fillings or other care that suits milk teeth.

  • Avoid putting a child to bed with milk or juice in a bottle
  • Bring your child for regular check-ups

Questions

Kids Dentistry: common questions

Ask your own question
When should my child first see a dentist?

A first visit once the first teeth appear, or by around the first birthday, helps catch problems early and gets your child used to the dentist.

Do milk teeth need fillings if they will fall out anyway?

Often yes. A decayed milk tooth can hurt and get infected, and losing it too early can affect how the adult teeth come in.

My child is scared of the dentist. What can we do?

Tell us in advance. We keep the first visit short and simple, explain everything and do not rush.
