At smit dental and implant centre we have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. We promote the dental health of children as well as serve as educational resources for parents.We recommend that you visit a dentist within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by a child's first birthday.This is because early oral examination aids in the detection of the early stages of tooth decay. Early detection is essential to maintain oral health, modify aberrant habits, and treat as needed and as simply as possible. Additionally, parents are given a program of preventative home care (brushing/flossing/fluorides), a caries risk assessment, information on finger, thumb, and pacifier habits, advice on preventing injuries to the mouth and teeth of children, diet counseling, and information on growth and development.

A check-up every six months is recommended in order prevent cavities and other dental problems for children. However, we can tell you when and how often your child should visit based on their personal oral health once you make your first visit at our centre.We evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally through water (especially if the fluoride level is deficient or if your child drinks bottled water without fluoride),then we may prescribe fluoride supplements.
