It is important not to wait until your child first experiences toothache to visit us. A child’s first dental check-up should be at about 3 years old.

By visiting Roseville Fine Dentistry from an early age, it can help to eliminate the fear of the dentist. We always make these first dental appointments fun and enjoyable.

During your child’s first visit we will:

1. Carefully examine the development of their mouth. This is very important as dental problems often develop at an early age (e.g. crowding, appearance of calcium deposits, bottle tooth decay, gum disease, prolonged thumb-sucking and teething problems).
   
   
2. Count their teeth and give them rides in the chair, while explaining everything we are going to do.
   
   
3. Dr Segal will demonstrate the right way to care for your child's teeth by showing brushing techniques.

We also recommend that you talk to your child about what to expect and build excitement as well as understanding about the upcoming visit.
