Children Dentistry

We understand that children are often apprehensive about visiting the dentist. At Bay Dental, we take special measures to ensure that kids are taken care of in a very caring atmosphere.

Our staff has lots of expertise in making children feel very comfortable during their dental visits.

Good Dental Habits need to start at an early age

We strongly believe that it is imperative that children pick up the best possible habits on caring for their teeth early on. What they learn now will most likely stay with them throughout their lives.

The old saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" can definitely be applied to dental care habits. An adult is much less likely to floss regularly, get their teeth cleaned twice a year, and brush after every meal if they didn't pick up those habits at an early age.

When should I start bringing in my child to a dentist

In normal circumstances, we would like to see your child 6 months after the first tooth erupts, but no later than 12 months of age. The most important goals of this first visit are to introduce your child to the office surroundings and to develop a trust in the dentist and staff. We look at this visit as an icebreaker. If your child is too frightened, uncomfortable or uncooperative, our staff may have to re-schedule several short visits.
