Irvine Children's Dentist
Preparing your child for their first dental visit in Irvine
A trip to see our Irvine children's dentist can be a perfectly pleasant, stress-free event for you and your child. We at First Smile Pediatric Dentistry have arranged our office to suit the needs and sensibilities of our young patients. And as a result, preparing him or her for the first time coming here is surprisingly simple.
As you are most likely aware, children tend to resist any trip to see a doctor. But we find that in addition to creating and maintaining an environment that is conducive to feeling comfortable, being honest with kids about what to expect is an effective tool. Even though the equipment that our Irvine children's dentist uses can look scary, our number one commitment is to provide pain-free checkups and treatments for her or him. Of course, we cannot guarantee absolutely no pain at all ever, but if something may cause pain, it is better to direct about it. The establishment of trust is very important. An initial dental examination will involve a physical and visual inspection of your child's teeth and the rest of the mouth to determine if there are any obvious issues that need to be addressed. X-rays will most likely be taken. This is to get a close-up look at what's going on inside your child's teeth. A teeth cleaning will also be done. The priority of our Irvine children's dentist is to help you to prevent cavities for your child. As part of an ongoing partnership in that, you can look forward to asking any questions that you have. In addition, you will be given valuable guidance for helping your child to use proper brushing and flossing technique, how to deal with teething, and the role that fluoride treatments can play in cavity prevention.
