We use a gentle, child-focused technique to ensure your little one feels comfortable:
Tell, Show, Do: We explain each step, show the tools we use, and answer any questions, helping children feel at ease.
Friendly Environment: Our caring team makes every visit enjoyable, ensuring your child builds a positive association with dental care.
Education and Prevention: We teach children about good oral hygiene habits and monitor their dental development.
At Glenfield Family Dental, we understand that a positive experience at the dentist can set the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Our team is dedicated to making dental visits fun, friendly, and stress-free for children of all ages.
We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit around age four or five. However, if they experience mouth trauma, have difficulty nursing, or show signs of dental issues, an earlier visit may be necessary.
Monitoring your child’s dental development helps identify potential bite issues (malocclusion) early. Common types of malocclusion include:
Overcrowding
Open bite
Underbite
Crossbite
Spacing issues
Malocclusion can be caused by genetics or habits, including:
Prolonged thumb sucking or pacifier use
Tooth loss or impacted teeth
Cleft lip and palate
Mouth injuries
Underdeveloped jaws
Misaligned teeth
Speech difficulties
Difficulty chewing or biting
Mouth breathing
Facial structure changes
Our team closely monitors your child’s dental growth and bite alignment from their first visit. If we detect any concerns, we will discuss treatment options and provide guidance to promote healthy oral development.
Help your child build a lifetime of healthy smiles. Contact Glenfield Family Dental today to schedule a children’s dentistry appointment.
