]]> Most kids dread a visit to the dentist, but that doesn’t mean they should miss their regular appointments. If you’re not sure how often you should take them to the dentist, this brief guide will help you make the right choice.

First Visit

You should take your child for their first dental exam as soon as their first teeth come out or by one year of age, whichever comes first. Their baby teeth will eventually fall out, but it’s still important to take them to the dentist and encourage them to develop good dental care habits.

Regular Visits

After your first visit to the dentist, you should take your little ones for regular appointments every six months. Routine check-ins will make it possible for the dentist to detect early signs of dental hygiene issues and take care of them before they cause trouble.

Recurring Problems

If your kid has recurring dental problems, taking them to the dentist twice a year probably won’t be enough. If your little ones are experiencing cavities, inflammation, or tooth decay, taking them to the dentist every three times is the way to go, but you can help them deal with these problems by regulating their diet and brushing habits.

]]> Dental hygiene is a hugely important aspect of health and wellbeing and it’s essential to keep a close eye on this with children. Regular dentist visits are crucial, but for many children, this appointment is scary and daunting. If you feel like it’s always a major struggle to convince your kids to come to their dental check-ups, then here are some ideas to help this all run more smoothly for you all. 

Plan Something Relaxing for Afterwards

This can be as simple as heading to the park to feed the ducks or going for a walk in the forest. Whatever you choose, having this calming and enjoyable activity to look forward to after will really help. Over time they will begin to associate the dentist with the chill time after and be less stressed out by it. 

Have a Serious Conversation About Dental Care

Many children simply don’t understand the significance of dental hygiene. Without totally freaking them out, just have a simple conversation about how important it really is, and what kinds of things can happen if it gets neglected. 

Let the Dentist Know

Some dentists will be very aware of kids’ reluctance to attend, but sometimes there will be dentists who forget this. If you let them know how challenging it is for your children, then they will be able to offer a gentler approach. They may well talk through each step with your child, which can help it to be less scary for them.
