Positive Early Dental Experiences
At Atlantic Smile Dentistry, we are dedicated to making your child's dental visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We create a calm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere to help them feel at ease. We'll work at your child's pace, taking breaks if needed, and we'll explain each step of the process to help them feel engaged in their dental care.
If your child has any questions during their visit, we'll provide clear, age-appropriate answers to ensure they fully understand what's happening.
Our goal is to create positive dental experiences from the start, helping your child develop healthy oral habits that last well into adulthood.
Your Child's First Visit
Babies should be seen by a dentist when they develop their first tooth, which is usually between six months of age and their first birthday. At this stage, their primary teeth are beginning to come through, making it an important opportunity to identify any potential issues before they become major problems.
Dental Services for Kids
During each appointment, we'll offer advice on proper oral hygiene practices to help ensure your child's smile receives the best care at home.
Preventive Dental Hygiene
Bringing your child in for regular exams and cleanings helps preserve their primary teeth until their permanent teeth are ready to take their place. After each visit, their dental hygienist will offer helpful tips and advice on at-home oral care, ensuring effective brushing and flossing to maintain a healthy smile.
Restorative Dental Services
Some children are at higher risk of developing tooth decay. If this is applies to your child, their dentist may recommend restorative treatments, such as dental fillings. This is done to repair any existing damage and strengthen the teeth, helping to prevent future dental issues.
