At Dental Medicenter, we provide a gentle and friendly introduction to the world of dentistry for your child. The first visit includes a programme of comprehensive oral diagnostics. It is worth preparing your baby properly for this experience. In our guide you will find many proven tips that will help parents provide their children with a pleasant and positive experience when visiting the dentist.
The first visit to the dentist is recommended when the child is about two years old. At this age, the child is already aware of what the dentist wants to communicate to him and can cooperate with him. However, before the first year of life, it is worth visiting the dentist for guidance on dental care during the teething period.
Important!
It is advisable for your child to visit the dentist even before any dental procedure is necessary. This is important because the doctor will be able to assess the developing teeth, check the state of occlusion and rule out the beginnings of decay. The first visit to the dentist is an important experience for your child, so make sure that it takes place in a friendly atmosphere.
Often not only children, but also their parents feel stressed before visiting the dentist with their child. They fear that the toddler may cry or be stressed, which in turn may affect their own emotions. Therefore, it is advisable to be positive about the visit and prepare your child accordingly before the first visit to the dentist.
At Dental Medicenter, we take great care in our approach to our youngest patients. In order to make the first visit to the surgery a comfortable and pleasant experience for the child, we recommend preparing the toddler in two stages: the first stage should still take place at home and the second stage should take place in our surgery.
At Dental Medicenter, we strive to provide a positive experience of visiting the dentist from an early age. Parents are encouraged to form positive associations with the dentist at home by playing dentist at home. You can play together to examine the teeth of your favourite teddy bears and talk about the importance of oral health. The child will have the opportunity to get used to the thought of visiting the dentist in a friendly and comfortable home environment. Then, when the time comes for the first visit to our office, it will be more confident and less stressful.
At Dental Medicenter, we start the process of familiarizing small patients with the dentist with the so-called adaptation visit. During this visit, the dentist does not carry out any procedures, but gives the child an opportunity to get acquainted with the office, chair and other equipment. He or she creates a friendly atmosphere, talks about teeth, how to take care of them and sometimes even plays with the child with dental instruments. In this way, the child can convince himself that a visit to the dentist is not scary at all, which will make him come to his first real visit with a smile.
We have equipped our facilities with modern devices such as a CT scanner, a 3D intraoral scanner, and a dental microscope to ensure dental care supported by 21st-century technology.
