Tips for At Home Dental Care for Kids

01

Make It Fun

Brushing and flossing can be made into a fun game or a daily routine that your child looks forward to. Try using timers, music, or other tools to make the process more enjoyable for your kids.

02

Let Them Pick Their Toothbrush & Toothpaste

If your children have a say in what toothbrush and toothpaste they use, they will be more likely to actually brush their teeth! Let them choose from different flavors, colors, sizes, and types of brushes each time they need a new one.

03

Find Low Sugar Snacks

Sugary snacks should be avoided as much as possible since sugar can lead to cavities and decay. Instead, opt for treats with minimal added sugars so that your kids' teeth stay healthy while they snack!

04

Regular Visits to the Dentist

Regular visits are important for preventing dental problems before they arise; however, it can be hard to get kids excited about going to the dentist! Try making the experience more positive by letting them bring along a favorite toy or blanket so that they feel comfortable during their appointment.

FAQs

What age should a child visit the dentist for the first time?

Visiting the dentist for the first time is an important milestone for any child’s oral health. The Canadian Dental Association recommends that this initial visit happen as soon as a child’s first tooth starts to come in, or at one year of age, whichever comes first.

During this appointment a professional can check for potential issues such as early signs of cavities or give advice on good oral hygiene, helping to lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Establishing good oral habits and routine dental care at an early age is key to ensure optimal oral health throughout life.
Do you offer emergency dental services for children?

At Chaplin Dental, we understand that accidents can happen and oral health is always a priority. We offer children's dental emergency services so they can get the attention they need in case of an unexpected situation.

Our attentive and dedicated staff will provide a comfortable and reassuring experience to ensure your child's safety and satisfaction with their treatment. We understand the stress and anxiety such emergencies can cause, and are here to help you through it quickly, efficiently, and professionally.
How long is a children's dental appointment?

An average children's dental appointment lasts between 30-45 minutes depending on the age of the child and the complexity of their dental issues. We understand that young children have difficulty sitting for long periods of time and thats why we encourage breaks throughout the appointment to help kids stay more focused, as well as alleviate anxiety associated with visiting a dentist.

With these strategies and a patient and understanding attitude from both parent and practitioner, a 30-minute dental visit should be possible.
