Bringing your child to the dentist

At Puresmile Dental & Implants in Farnham Common, near East Burnham, Buckinghamshire, we advise that dental care should begin at an early age, since plaque will begin to form as soon as a child’s first tooth arrives. Parental brushing is essential for your young child’s dental health, in addition to control of sweets, chocolate and sugary drinks.

We make every effort to make your child’s visit to the dentist a really positive and stress-free experience as we know phobia of the dentist is a real issue and often starts with the first dental visit. We know it’s not always possible to get the little ones to sit still so we’re happy for them to just get used to the environment, look around and learn from their other family members or just have a ride in the chair until they’re comfortable enough to let our caring dentists take a look in their mouths.

Teaching children good oral hygiene at a young age is an investment in their health that will stay with them for life. Our dentists can teach your child look after their teeth, brushing techniques, diet advice and much more.
