A child’s first visit to the dentist

A child’s first visit to the dentist should be a calm introduction, not a treatment. Your child looks around the surgery, sits in the chair and the dentist checks their teeth.

Frequently asked questions

What if my child does not cooperate?

That is fine. We never force anything – if needed, we repeat the visit and the child gets used to it gradually.

Can a parent be present?

Yes, young children can sit on a parent’s lap.
